Turn your own phonics lessons into flashcards with AI
Read Write Inc. phonics sets come in a fixed order, but your child's class may be working on different sounds this week. Upload the sheets, slides or photos you already have and DeckOwl builds flashcards from them.
How to make phonics flashcards from your own lessons
Many parents and teachers searching for Ruth Miskin phonics flashcards want cards that match the sound order in their own class. Printed sets follow one programme's sequence, so they can run ahead of or behind what a child is learning.
- Flashcards show the grapheme on one side and the sound and example word on the other.
- Upload a photo of a sound chart and text recognition reads the letters and words.
- Spaced repetition brings back the sounds a child finds hard more often.
- Exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV are available on the Plus plan.
Built from your sound charts
Upload a PDF, slide deck, typed notes or a photo of a sound chart. Text recognition reads the page so the cards match the sounds you are teaching.
Spaced repetition
Cards you find hard come back sooner, and cards you know come back less often, so the sounds stay in memory between sessions.
Study in the browser
Practice on any device with a browser. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study with no exports.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes or a photo of a phonics page.
Generate flashcards
DeckOwl turns the sounds, graphemes and example words into question and answer cards.
Practice a little each day
Study in short sessions in the browser and let spaced repetition choose which cards come back next.
DeckOwl is not affiliated with Ruth Miskin or Read Write Inc. It works from the files you already have. Upload your sound charts, word lists or scanned pages, and the generator creates cards for each sound and example word, which you can study with spaced repetition.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a digraph and a split digraph?
A digraph is two letters that make one sound, such as sh in ship. A split digraph uses two letters with another letter between them, such as a_e in cake, which still makes one vowel sound.
How often should children review phonics flashcards?
Short, regular sessions work better than long, occasional ones. Spaced repetition helps by showing cards that are hard more often than cards that are already known.
Can I export my phonics flashcards?
Exports are paid features. The Plus plan at $99.90/year or $9.99/month includes PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, while the free plan lets you study in the browser.
Do I need a credit card to try DeckOwl?
No. You can start on the free plan without a credit card, which includes 3 generations per month. Students get 40% off with a school email.
