Why build your own ie phonics flashcards

A ready-made sheet covers the common ie words, but your class has its own spelling list and sound focus, so ie phonics flashcards work best when they come from that material.

  • Cards built from your own spelling list and worksheets
  • Separate cards for the long i and long e sounds of ie
  • Spaced repetition so tricky words come back more often
  • Export to Anki or CSV on the Plus plan for use outside the browser
Example ie phonics flashcards
Which word uses ie for the long i sound: fr__ed (cooked in oil)?fried. The ie spelling makes the long i sound /ī/ here.
Spell the long i word for a flaky dessert with a crust: p__pie. Ie spells the long i sound /ī/ in this one-syllable word.
Does ie spell the long e sound in the word chief?Yes. Ie spells the long e sound /ē/, as in chief, field and thief.
Which is correct after c: receive or recieve?receive. After c, the spelling is ei, which is the exception to the i before e rule.
Which long e word uses ie: bel__ve (to think something is true)?believe. Ie spells the long e sound /ē/ in believe.

Spaced repetition built in

Cards come back at the intervals that help a learner keep ie spellings and sounds, so the tricky words get more practice.

Study in the browser

Review flashcards on a laptop or tablet with no install. Quizzes with explanations are available for the same material.

How it works

Upload your lesson

Add the worksheet, slides or a photo of the phonics chart that covers the ie words your class is learning.

Generate flashcards

DeckOwl creates question and answer cards from the text it finds, so each card matches the lesson you taught.

Review on a schedule

Study the deck in the browser each day. Missed cards return sooner, and mastered ones spread out over time.

Ie usually spells the long i sound in words like pie and fried, and the long e sound in words like field and chief. Making separate cards for each sound keeps learners from mixing up the patterns.

Upload the list your students already use and generate a deck in minutes. Start on the free plan with 3 generations per month and study in the browser.

Frequently asked questions

Which words use ie for the long i sound?

Common examples include pie, tie, lie, fried and cried. The vowel sound is the same long i heard in 'high', but ie is the spelling here.

How do I teach the i before e except after c rule?

Teach it as a pattern with exceptions, then have students sort words like field, chief and receive into groups. Cards with the word on the front and the spelling rule on the back reinforce the sort.

Can I export my flashcards to PDF or Anki for free?

No. The free plan lets you study in the browser only. PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export are part of Plus at $39/year or $7.99/month.

Do I need a credit card to try it?

No. You can start without a credit card, and students get 40% off with a school email.
