Why build your own phonics letter cards

Printable phonics flashcards for letters are easy to find, but they rarely match the sounds, order or examples in your lesson plan. A card that shows a letter with a picture may not reflect the program your class uses or the sounds a child is working on this week.

Use the chart or worksheet your class already uses so the sounds match.
Start with a few letters at a time and add more as they are mastered.
Check each card for a single sound per letter or digraph before studying.
Review short sessions daily, since spaced repetition works best with frequent practice.

Example phonics letter sound flashcards

Which sound does the letter c make in cat?/k/ as in cat. Before e, i or y it can be soft, as in city, which makes the /s/ sound.

What sound does the digraph sh make?/sh/ as in ship. Two letters make one sound.

Which sound does ea make in bead?Long e, /ee/ as in bead. It can also make a short e sound, as in bread.

What is the short vowel sound for the letter a?/a/ as in apple, cat and hat.

What does the silent e at the end of a word do?It usually makes the vowel before a single consonant long, as in cake, where the a says its name.

Generate the full set

Starts from your material

Upload a PDF, slide, scanned page or a photo of a letter chart. Text recognition reads the page and turns the letters and sounds into cards.

Spaced repetition

Letters you miss come back sooner and letters you know fade to longer gaps, so practice time goes where it is needed.

Study in the browser

The free plan works on any device with a browser. Paid plans add PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export for printing or other apps.

How it works

Upload the page

Add a phonics chart, letter worksheet, slide or photo of a page you already have.

Review the cards

Check the letter and sound pairs on each card and remove anything that does not match your lesson.

Study on a schedule

Practice in short sessions. Spaced repetition brings back the letter sounds you are still learning.

Generating cards from your own material keeps the letter sounds, sight words and example words consistent with what is taught. Flashcards can be created from a single page or from a full unit, and the review schedule adjusts to which letters are still shaky.

Start with the page you already use. If it is a scan or a phone photo, text recognition will read it, and you can edit any card before studying.

Frequently asked questions

What letter sounds should a flashcard show?

Most early phonics cards show a single letter or letter pair on the front and its main sound on the back, such as /b/ for b. Add a short example word so the sound is tied to something familiar.

How many letter cards should a child study at once?

Many teachers introduce two to four new letters or digraphs per week, and review older ones daily. Keep each session short so the cards stay focused.

Can I export phonics flashcards to print them?

Export is a paid feature. The Plus plan includes PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, and the free plan lets you study in the browser without exports.
