Custom digraph cards beat generic printables

A ready-made sheet of printable digraph flashcards can be useful, but it only covers the sounds its author chose. If your class is working on ai and ay, or on the difference between ph and f, a generic sheet may skip exactly what you need.

  • Cards come from the digraphs in your own notes or worksheets, not a fixed list.
  • Spaced repetition brings back the sounds a student keeps missing.
  • Export to PDF for printing or to Anki and CSV on Plus.
  • Start on the free plan with 3 generations per month and no credit card.

Built from your material

Upload a PDF, slide deck, typed notes or a photo of a worksheet, and the cards follow the digraphs your class actually covered.

Spaced repetition

Cards you miss come back sooner, so the sh, ch and th sounds stick without re-sorting a stack of paper cards.

Quizzes and mind maps too

Turn the same lesson into multiple choice or true/false quizzes, or a mind map that groups vowel and consonant digraphs.

How it works

Upload your lesson

Add the PDF, slides, notes or a photo of the page. Text is read from images, so a scanned handout works.

Generate your flashcards

DeckOwl writes question-and-answer cards from the digraphs and example words in your material.

Study or export

Review in the browser on the free plan. On Plus, export the set as a PDF to print or as an Anki or CSV file.

Starting from your own lesson keeps the cards aligned with what gets taught and tested. Each card can show a word on the front and the target sound and an example on the back, so a student can check their answer in seconds.

For teachers and parents, the paid export options matter most: PDF for printing, and CSV or Anki if you want the cards to stay in a digital routine with spaced repetition.
