Why generate your own phonics cards

Ready-made printable sets are handy, but they rarely follow the exact order your class is learning. With Little Wandle phonics flashcards built from your own scheme sheets, every card reflects the sounds you have taught, from Phase 2 letters like s, a, t and p through to Phase 3 trigraphs like igh and air.

Phase 2 single letters and digraphs such as ck, ff and ll
Phase 3 graphemes including ch, sh, th, ng, igh and air
Example words that match the sounds already taught
One card per grapheme, with the sound written between slashes, such as /igh/

Example Little Wandle phonics flashcards

Which Phase 2 letters make the sound /ck/ at the end of 'duck'?ck. It follows a single vowel at the end of a short word, as in 'back' and 'neck'.

What sound does igh make?/igh/ as in 'night' and 'light'. Three letters, one sound.

What sound does ow make in 'cow'?/ow/ as in 'cow', 'town' and 'owl'. It is a Phase 3 grapheme.

Built from your own sheets

Upload a PDF, slide deck, Word file or a photo of your phonics chart and get flashcards based on the graphemes you have actually taught.

Spaced repetition

Cards come back at intervals when learners are most likely to recall them, so tricky spellings like ough or tion get the review they need.

Printable on Plus

The Plus plan exports PDF and DOCX, so you can print a set for a small group or a home practice pack.

How it works

Upload your material

Add the Little Wandle scheme sheet, your phase letter chart, or a photo of existing word cards.

Check the flashcards

Edit any card where the grapheme or example word needs changing before you study or export.

Study or print

Practise in the browser on the free plan, or export a PDF on Plus to print.

Good phonics cards show the grapheme on one side and a clear example word on the other, so the learner links the letters to the sound. A Phase 3 set can mix digraphs such as sh and th with vowel teams such as ai and oa, which helps reviewers spot confusions like ai and ay.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should a phonics set have?

Keep each set small, with one card per grapheme and a few example words for each. Add new sounds as they are taught so the set grows with the scheme.

What order should phonics sounds be learned in?

Follow your school's Little Wandle progression so new graphemes come after the ones learners already know. Revisit earlier sounds regularly, since spaced review keeps them secure.

Do I need a printed set to practise phonics?

No. Learners can practise on screen in the browser on the free plan, and printed cards are optional for group work or home use.

Can I print the flashcards I make?

Yes, on the Plus plan you can export to PDF or DOCX and print from there. The free plan studies in the browser and does not include exports.
