Why a custom set beats a generic blends list

A phonics blends flashcards PDF is handy for a reading group, but a generic list rarely matches the words your learner is working on. Cards made from your own word lists, such as the bl words in last week's story or the st words from a spelling sheet, keep practice tied to what is being taught.

Make cards from the exact word lists your class uses
Group cards by blend type so one group is mastered before the next
Use spaced repetition so weak blends return more often
Export to PDF or Anki on the Plus plan when you need a printed or shared set

Example phonics blends flashcards

What is a consonant blend?Two or more consonants side by side in a word where each keeps its own sound, such as the bl in blue.

Name three L-blends.bl, cl, fl, gl, pl and sl. Examples: blue, clap, flag, glad, play, slip.

What sounds do you hear in the st blend of stop?/s/ and /t/, both heard and blended quickly at the start of the word.

What is the difference between a blend and a digraph?A blend keeps each consonant sound (tr in train), while a digraph makes one new sound (th in think).

Which word ends in a final blend: lamp or lap?Lamp, which ends in the mp blend, with /m/ and /p/ both heard.

Generate the full set

Reads your material

Upload PDFs, DOCX or PPTX files, plain notes, or photos of a worksheet. Photos are read with text recognition.

Cards for each blend group

Flashcards can cover L-blends, S-blends and R-blends from your lesson, with the word and its sounds on the card.

Spaced repetition built in

Cards you miss come back sooner, so blends that are still shaky get more practice than the ones your reader already knows.

How it works

Upload your blends material

Add the PDF, slides or photo that your class or reading group is using.

Review the generated cards

Check that each card has the right blend and a clear answer before you start studying.

Study in short sessions

Study in the browser on the free plan, and let spaced repetition choose which cards come up next.

Start with one blend group at a time. Early readers usually handle L-blends and S-blends before R-blends, so a set focused on one group is easier to master. Add new cards once the current ones feel automatic, and keep sessions short so the practice stays fresh.

Frequently asked questions

Which phonics blends should be taught first?

Many teachers start with L-blends (bl, cl, fl, gl, pl, sl) and S-blends (sc, sk, sm, sn, sp, st, sw), then move to R-blends (br, cr, dr, fr, gr, pr, tr). Practice each group in short word lists before mixing them.

How many blend flashcards should a beginning reader study at once?

Around 10 to 15 cards from one blend group is a manageable start. Add new cards once the current set feels easy, and keep daily sessions short.

Can I export my phonics blends flashcards to a PDF?

PDF export is part of the Plus plan, which costs $39/year or $7.99/month. The free plan lets you study the cards in the browser without exports.
