Making your own Read Write Inc. flashcards

Read Write Inc. is a phonics program, and DeckOwl does not sell ready-made sets. It can build printable Read Write Inc. flashcards from material you already have, such as photos of letter-sound charts or pages from a school scheme.

  • Single-sound cards: one grapheme or sound on each front.
  • Fred talk practice: cards that show how to sound out a word.
  • Special friends: two-letter spellings like sh or ai as their own cards.
  • Mixed review: spaced repetition resurfaces the sounds a learner misses.
Example Read Write Inc. Set 1 phonics flashcards
Which sound does 'ck' make?/k/, as in duck. It usually appears at the end of a short word after a short vowel.
What sound do 'ff', 'll' and 'ss' make?One sound each: /f/, /l/ and /s/. Two letters make one sound, so they are read as a single unit.
What is Fred talk?Sounding out a word one sound at a time, like c-a-t, then blending the sounds into the whole word.
What is a special friend?A pair of letters that makes one sound, such as sh or ai, taught as one unit when reading.
Which sound does 'e' make in 'bed'?/e/, the short vowel sound in Set 1, as in egg.

From your own files

Upload PDFs, slides, notes or photos of workbook pages. Text in photos is read with text recognition.

Spaced repetition

Cards come back at the right moments, so the sounds a learner struggles with show up more often.

Print or export

PDF export is on Plus at $99.90/year or $9.99/month, along with DOCX, Anki and CSV export.

How it works

Upload your material

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file or a photo of the page.

Generate flashcards

The AI turns sounds, words and rules into cards with a front and a back.

Study or print

Review in the browser on the Free plan, or export a PDF on Plus.

Cards work best when each one holds a single sound or word, with the answer on the back. Ask for one card per grapheme, such as ck or ll, and one per Fred talk word, then let spaced repetition bring back the ones that slip.

Printing is a Plus feature. The Free plan covers three generations a month and studying in the browser.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for Read Write Inc. Set 1?

Start with one card per letter-sound in Set 1. Add word cards for any sound that is missed more than once.

What is Fred talk, and how do I put it on a flashcard?

Fred talk is sounding out a word one sound at a time, such as c-a-t. Put the word on the front and the sounded-out version on the back so the learner practices blending.

Can I print DeckOwl flashcards?

Yes, but PDF export is part of the Plus plan at $99.90/year or $9.99/month. The Free plan lets you study in the browser without exports.

Does DeckOwl work from photos of workbook pages?

Yes. Images are read with text recognition, so a photo of a page can become flashcards. Clear, well-lit photos give the best results.
