Why custom phonics flashcards work better than printables

Printable sets of Little Wandle phonics flashcards are easy to find, but they seldom follow the order, graphemes and word lists your class uses. Uploading your own phonics slides, programme guides or photos of a sound mat lets DeckOwl pull out the exact sounds and tricky words from your material, so the cards match what children are actually learning.

  • Start with the phase or week you are teaching so the cards stay focused.
  • Include both single letters and digraphs, such as sh, ch and ai, to reinforce how sounds are spelled.
  • Add tricky words separately and say the sound pattern aloud when reviewing them.
  • Keep sessions short and frequent, and review the cards the learner found hardest first.
Example Little Wandle phonics flashcards
Which grapheme makes the /ai/ sound in rain?ai, as in rain. The sound can also be spelled ay or a-e, as in play and cake.
What sound does the trigraph igh make?/igh/, as in night, light and high. It uses three letters to make one sound.
Which two letters make the /ng/ sound in ring?ng. Together they make one sound, so they are not read as n and g separately.
How is the tricky word the pronounced at the start of a sentence?/th/ then /uh/. The e makes the schwa sound here, not the /ee/ sound.
What is a split digraph?Two letters split by a consonant, such as a and e in cake, which together make one vowel sound.

Built from your slides

Upload PDFs, PowerPoint slides, Word documents or photos of a sound mat and get cards that follow your own sequence.

Check before you study

Read through every card, edit wording and remove anything that does not match the phase you are teaching.

Spaced repetition

Sounds a learner keeps missing come back more often, so practice goes where it is needed most.

How it works

Upload your material

Add a PDF, slide deck, notes file or clear photo of your phonics resources.

Generate flashcards

DeckOwl reads the text and creates question and answer cards for the graphemes and tricky words it finds.

Study and review

Practise in the browser on the free plan, and export to PDF or Anki on Plus.

Each card can be checked and edited before anyone studies. Spaced repetition then brings back the sounds a learner keeps missing, which suits the short, regular practice that phonics relies on. Plus adds PDF and Anki export if you want to print or share the set.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should a Little Wandle phonics set include?

A focused set of about 15 to 25 cards works well for one phase or week. Smaller sets are easier to review daily and let learners see progress quickly.

How often should a child review phonics flashcards?

Short sessions of around five to ten minutes, most days of the week, usually work better than one long session. Spaced repetition helps by bringing back the sounds that need more practice.

Can I print my flashcards?

Printing is not included on the free plan, which lets you study in the browser. The Plus plan includes PDF export, so you can print from that file.

Does DeckOwl include Little Wandle materials?

No. DeckOwl only creates cards from material you upload, so you need your own Little Wandle slides, guides or photos to start.
