Why build your own printable set

A child learning to read needs cards that match the sounds they are working on this week, and a generic download often skips the exact patterns in their reading program. Printable phonics flashcards made from your own lists keep practice aligned with what is being taught.

Use the exact word lists and sound groups from your lesson plan.
Photograph a worksheet and generate cards from it without retyping.
Print a PDF set on Plus for offline practice at the kitchen table.
Students with a school email get 40% off any paid plan.

Example phonics flashcards for early readers

What sound do the letters sh make?/sh/, as in ship and fish.

What is a digraph?Two letters that together make one sound, such as ch in chin or ai in rain.

What is a CVC word? Give an example.A consonant-vowel-consonant word with a short vowel, such as map or pet.

What does the silent e do in cake?It makes the vowel say its long name, so a says /ay/ in cake.

What is a blend?Two or three consonants that each keep their own sound, such as bl in blue or str in string.

Generate the full set

Built from your material

Upload a PDF, slide deck, typed notes or a photo of a worksheet. Text is read from images, so you can start from the page you already have.

Spaced repetition

Cards you miss come back sooner and cards you know come back later, so new sounds stick without re-sorting a stack by hand.

Printable PDF export

On the Plus plan, export your flashcards as a PDF to print. The free plan lets you study in the browser but does not include exports.

How it works

Upload your word list

Add a PDF, DOCX, plain text list or a photo of a phonics worksheet. Free accounts get 3 generations per month and no credit card is needed to start.

Review the flashcards

Check the generated cards against your lesson, then study them in the browser with spaced repetition.

Export to print

On Plus, download the set as a PDF and print it for practice away from the screen.

Start with the letter sounds, short vowel words and digraphs your child has already seen in class. Keep each session short, mix in a few older sounds for review, and let spaced repetition bring back the cards that need more practice.

Frequently asked questions

How many phonics flashcards should a child study in one session?

For early readers, a small set of about 8 to 12 cards works better than a long deck. Introduce only a few new sounds each week and review older ones more often.

What order should phonics sounds be taught in?

Most programs start with single letter sounds and short vowels, then move to consonant blends, digraphs and silent e patterns. Match your cards to the order your child's reading program uses.

Can I print my phonics flashcards?

Yes, the Plus plan lets you export your flashcards as a PDF for printing. The free plan includes studying in the browser but does not include exports.

Can I start from a photo of a worksheet?

Yes, photos of pages are read with text recognition, so you can upload a snapshot of a phonics worksheet. Plus also adds DOCX, Anki and CSV export.
