Why build your own Jolly Phonics deck

Ready-made printable sets of Jolly Phonics flashcards cover the standard letter sounds, but they rarely follow the exact groups, words or pictures your child or class is working through. DeckOwl lets you build a deck from the sheets you already have.

  • Works from PDFs, DOCX files, PPTX slides, plain notes and photos of pages
  • Matches the letter groups and example words on your own handouts
  • Spaced repetition schedules review of the sounds you miss most
  • Export to PDF for printing or to Anki with Plus
Example Jolly Phonics letter sound flashcards
Which letters are in the first Jolly Phonics group?s, a, t, i, p and n. Children learn these sounds first, then blend them into simple words such as sat and pin.
What is a digraph?Two letters that make one sound together, such as sh in ship or ai in rain.
What sound does ck make at the end of duck?The /k/ sound. It is a digraph that often closes short-vowel words like duck, neck and kick.
How do the two th sounds differ in thin and this?Thin uses the unvoiced /th/ sound, made without the voice. This uses the voiced /th/ sound, with the voice humming.
What is blending in phonics?Saying each letter sound in a word in order, then running the sounds together, such as /s/ /a/ /t/ becoming sat.

Built from your own pages

Upload a PDF, slides, a DOCX or a photo of a worksheet and get flashcards based on what you actually teach.

Spaced repetition

Cards you miss come back sooner, so the letter sounds you keep forgetting get more practice.

Starts free

The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser. No credit card needed to start.

How it works

Add your material

Upload a PDF, slide deck, text notes or a photo of a page. Photos are read with text recognition.

Generate the cards

DeckOwl turns the sounds, letters and example words into flashcards in a few seconds.

Study on a schedule

Work through the deck in the browser and let spaced repetition bring back the cards you find hardest.

Upload a PDF, a slide deck or a photo of a worksheet, and the flashcards come out with the letter or digraph on one side and the sound and an example word on the other. Under spaced repetition, the sounds that give trouble are shown again more often.

The free plan covers 3 generations per month and studying in the browser. PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export are part of Plus at $39/year or $7.99/month, so you can print a deck for the classroom or move it into another app.

Frequently asked questions

How many Jolly Phonics sounds should a child learn at a time?

Jolly Phonics introduces letter sounds in groups, so most teachers focus on one group before moving to the next. Keep each deck limited to the sounds in the current group so practice stays focused.

What is the best way to study phonics flashcards?

Say the sound aloud, then the example word, and check yourself before you flip the card. Short daily sessions tend to work better than one long session each week.

Can I export my flashcards to print them?

PDF export is included in the Plus plan at $39/year or $7.99/month. The free plan lets you study the cards in your browser.

Does DeckOwl work with photos of worksheets?

Yes. Photos are read with text recognition, so a snapped page of letter sounds can become a flashcard deck.
