I am now, after more than 5 decades in the work force, officially semi-retired. New hobby: gardening. Old hobby restarting: table tennis. I still have some classes to teach and materials to design, many of which I will continue to share with the dear members of ESLPs. You may come across my materials on Facebook and my blog.

3 Magic pages of Phonic Fun with air: worksheet, dialogue and key (#28)
I�m going to change the format of some future dialogues; this is the last in the present format. Use the dialogue to practice interviews and to talk about future jobs. I chose the location of the dialogue in the USA because the children use the word airplane and not aeroplane. Though the characters are not Americans. Let the children change the n...

3 Magic pages of Phonic Fun with a_e: worksheet, story and key (#21)
Hi, I plan to focus five worksheets on magic e and this is the first one. Probably you know that magic e, although silent, is not the same as a silent e because it has the power to change the preceding vowel sound. See my account for other worksheets in this series. The stories are classified as "decodable", but unlike many so called decodabl...

3 Magic pages of Phonic Fun with e_e: worksheet, story and key (#22)
Hi, Some stories take days to write but this one was real fast but the worksheet took a long time as it was difficult to select vocabulary and graphics. Yesterday my computer broke, but luckily I could have it repaired though the technician said I need a new one. I plan to focus five worksheets on magic e and this is the second one. Probabl...

3 Magic pages of Phonic Fun with igh: worksheet, dialogue and key (#26)
As promised here is a phonic worksheet with a phonic dialogue. This dialogue was especially written for Risa and Rie, two of my students who are now in Canada near Vancover. They are twins. I have color-coded the dialogues to make them visually appealing and easier to use. I�ll try and give hints for their usage as we go along. If you are teachi...

3 Magic pages of Phonic Fun with i_e: worksheet, story and key (#23)
Hi, The story is different to most as it is factual. Yesterday my computer broke, but luckily I could have it repaired though the technician said I need a new one. I plan to focus five worksheets on magic e and this is the third one. Probably you know that magic e, although silent, is not the same as a silent e because it has the power to...

3 Magic pages of Phonic Fun with o_e: worksheet, story and key (#24)
Hi, The story is of a more serious nature, touching on war, refugees, homelessness and homesickness in such a way as to elicit empathy rather than fear. I hope you like it. I only have one more worksheet to go, then I must take a break as the new school year is soon to begin. See my account for other worksheets in this series. The stories are...

3 Magic pages of Phonic Fun with u_e: worksheet, story and key (#25)
Well this is the last for now but the series will continue in a slightly different format. Instead of stories I�m going to use dialogues which will be very useful for mostly pairwork. I really need to write more stories and dialogues but it all takes time. Thanks to everyone who left comments; it�s most encouraging to know that my work is appreciat...

3 More pages of Phonic Fun with oo: worksheet, story and key (#9)
Hi, See my account for other worksheets in this series. The stories are classified as "decodable", but unlike many so called decodable stories these have over 90 percent decodable text as opposed to the 40- 60 percent found in most "phonic readers" I mix sentence fragments with grammatically correct sentences as fragments are often easier for beg...
