Printable phonics flashcards made from your own material

Many teachers and parents search for phonics flashcards they can print, but ready-made sets rarely match the exact sounds a child is working on this week. DeckOwl takes your own material, such as a phonics scope and sequence, a word list or a photo of a worksheet, and generates flashcards for it.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a digraph and a blend?

A digraph is two letters that make one new sound, like sh in ship. A blend is two or three consonants that each keep their own sound, like the st in stop.

How often should a child practice phonics flashcards?

Short daily sessions work better than one long session each week. Spaced repetition brings back the sounds that need more review.

Can I print my phonics flashcards?

Yes, PDF export is included on the Plus plan at $39/year or $7.99/month. The free plan lets you study the cards in the browser with 3 generations per month.
