Turn your own Jolly Phonics notes into flashcards with AI
Printed sheets rarely match the sounds your class is covering this week. Upload your phonics materials and get flashcards built from them, with spaced repetition to help the sounds stick.
Why a custom deck works better than a generic download
Many parents and teachers searching for a printable set are really after Jolly Phonics flashcards that match the sounds being taught right now. A generic download covers every letter at once, while your class may be on digraphs like ai and oa or on a run of tricky words.
- Cards follow the order of sounds in your own lessons
- Digraphs and trigraphs can be drilled as separate cards
- Tricky words are kept in their own cards for recognition practice
- Free plan includes 3 generations per month for studying in the browser
Built from your material
Upload a PDF, slide deck, typed notes or a photo of a sound chart, and the flashcards come from what you actually teach.
Spaced repetition
Cards you find hard come back sooner, so letter sounds and tricky words are reviewed just before they fade.
Works from photos
Snap a page from a phonics workbook or whiteboard and text recognition reads it so you can start studying.
How it works
Upload your sound charts or notes
Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text file or image of the phonics material you are working through.
Generate your flashcards
DeckOwl creates question and answer cards from the sounds, digraphs and words in your files.
Study in the browser
Review the deck on any device. Upgrade to Plus if you want to export to PDF, DOCX, Anki or CSV for printing.
Generating cards from your own material keeps the deck aligned with your scheme of work. You can make a new set each week, add the words children struggle to blend, and review with spaced repetition instead of printing and reprinting sheets.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a letter sound and a letter name?
A letter sound is what the letter says inside a word, such as /m/ in map. The letter name is what you call the letter, such as em. Phonics programs teach sounds first because blending sounds is what lets children read new words.
How do I know which phonics sounds to drill first?
Most programs teach single letter sounds first, then digraphs like sh and ch, then blending into simple words. Follow the order used in your school or program so the flashcards match what children are learning.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and lets you study in the browser, though it does not include exports.
Can I export the flashcards to print or use in Anki?
Exports are part of the Plus plan at $39/year or $7.99/month, which includes PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV. Students get 40% off with a school email.
