Phonics flashcards for teachers, made from your own lesson material
Printable phonics sets are generic. Upload your word lists, lesson slides or notes and get flashcards built around the patterns you are teaching.
Why generate your own phonics cards
Custom phonics flashcards for teachers work better than printable sets because they match the exact patterns your class is covering this week. Upload your own word lists, decodable passages or slides and DeckOwl turns them into cards you can review with spaced repetition.
- Upload a photo of a phonics chart or whiteboard
- Cards follow the patterns in your own lesson
- Spaced repetition brings back the cards students miss
- Export to Anki or CSV on the Plus plan
Built from your material
Upload PDFs, slides, notes or photos of a whiteboard, and the text is read and turned into cards.
Spaced repetition
Cards that students miss come back more often, so tricky sound-spelling pairs stay in rotation until they stick.
Export when you need it
Plus adds PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export so you can print or share sets with your class.
How it works
Upload your lesson
Add the word list, slides, notes or a photo of the chart you are using this week.
Check the cards
Review the generated flashcards and edit any sound or spelling that needs changing.
Study or export
Practice in the browser on the free plan, or export to PDF or Anki on Plus.
Photos of a whiteboard or a page from a phonics program are read with text recognition, so there is no retyping. Spaced repetition keeps the trickier letter-sound pairs in rotation until students know them.

Frequently asked questions
How many phonics flashcards should a teacher make for one lesson?
A focused set of about a dozen cards on a single pattern, such as digraphs or short vowels, is usually enough for one lesson. Upload the word list for that lesson and DeckOwl will build the set from it.
Should students learn phonics from flashcards alone?
Flashcards help with practicing letter-sound links, but phonics works best alongside decodable text and spoken practice. Use the cards for quick review between longer activities.
Can I export the flashcards to use in my classroom?
Export to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV is included in Plus, which costs $39 per year or $7.99 per month. The free plan lets you study in the browser with 3 generations per month, without exports.
Do I need a credit card to start?
No, you can start on the free plan without a credit card. Teachers with a school email get 40% off paid plans.
