Phonics flashcard maker

One card for each sound pattern: sh, ch, a_e, ee, ai

Make flashcards for letter patterns that make one sound: sh, ch, th, ck, quiet e, and vowel teams such as ee, ai and oa. Each card shows the pattern, a key word from our checked word sets with the pattern underlined, and a picture where we have one.

How to make your worksheet

  1. Pick a group of patterns, or choose “Type your own patterns”.
  2. Choose the full card, or the letters alone for quick practice.
  3. Choose four, six or eight cards on a page.
  4. Print on thick paper and cut along the dashed lines.

One sound, two or three letters

In ship, the letters s and h work together and make one sound. A card for the pattern helps a child see the pair as one thing.

Key words

Each key word comes from our checked word sets, so it can be sounded out by a child who has learned that pattern. A card has a picture only when our library has one for that word.

Good questions

Which patterns are included?

sh, ch, th, wh, ng, ck, ll, ss, ff, zz, tch, nk, the quiet e patterns a_e, i_e, o_e and u_e, and the vowel teams ee, ea, ai, ay, oa, ow, igh and oo.

Can I add a pattern that is not on the list?

Yes. Type it. A pattern we have no key word for is printed alone on a clean card.

Why do some cards have no picture?

We only use our own hand-drawn pictures, and there is not one for every word yet.

Is it free?

Yes, with no sign-up and no limit.
