Why build your own Phase 5 cards

Phase 5 is where children meet alternative spellings for sounds they already know, such as ay, ie, igh and ew. Many parents and teachers search for phase 5 phonics flashcards online, but ready-made packs rarely match the exact word lists your child is working through this week.

Cards use the sound and example words from your own sheet
Spaced repetition schedules the sounds that need the most practice
Quizzes check whether a child can read the spelling, not just recall it
Study in the browser on the free plan, with exports on paid plans

Example Phase 5 phonics flashcards

Which spelling makes the /eɪ/ sound at the end of a word, as in 'day'?'ay'. It is used at the end of words, while 'ai' is more common in the middle of words, as in 'rain'.

What sound does 'ie' make at the end of a word, as in 'tie'?/aɪ/. 'ie' is used at the end of words, while 'igh' is used in the middle or end of words, as in 'night'.

What sound does the trigraph 'igh' make, as in 'light'?/aɪ/. Three letters make one sound, so 'igh' is read as a single unit.

Which spelling makes the /uː/ sound at the end of a word, as in 'new'?'ew'. It usually comes at the end of a word, as in 'stew' and 'chew'.

What sound does 'ph' make, as in 'phone'?/f/. 'ph' is a digraph that spells the f sound, as in 'dolphin' and 'graph'.

Generate the full set

Built from your material

Upload PDFs, slides, notes or photos of pages. Text recognition reads the printed words so the cards follow your scheme.

Spaced repetition

Cards you find tricky come back sooner, so alternative spellings like ay, ie and igh stick across weeks.

Quizzes with explanations

Check sounds with multiple choice, true/false or short answer questions that explain why each answer is right.

How it works

Add your sheet

Upload a PDF, slide deck, text list or a photo of a phonics page.

Review the cards

Check each sound and example word, and edit anything that does not match what you are teaching.

Study a little each day

Work through the cards due today in the browser, and let spaced repetition bring back the ones that need more practice.

DeckOwl creates cards from your own material, so the grapheme, the example words and the wording stay consistent with your lessons. Short daily sessions with a small set of new sounds work better than long, occasional drills.

Once the cards are made, mix in older sounds from earlier phases so earlier learning is reviewed alongside the new spellings.

Frequently asked questions

How many new phase 5 sounds should a child learn at once?

Most schemes introduce only a few new graphemes at a time, so keep each card set small and focused on the sounds from that week. Reviewing older sounds alongside them helps the new spellings stick.

What is the best way to practise phase 5 phonics at home?

Short, frequent sessions work better than long ones. Read real words that use the target spelling, then return to those words in later sessions so the reading becomes automatic.

Can I export phase 5 flashcards to Anki or print them?

Exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV are part of the paid Plus plan. The free plan lets you study the cards in the browser with 3 generations per month.

Do I need a credit card to try it?

No. You can start on the free plan without a credit card, and students can get 40% off with a school email.
