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.

Suffix Links 2 ay ay a_e: phonics worksheet
Sometimes a child just has to remember. The ai ay and a_e carry the same sound so we cannot know the spelling from the sound alone. We can of course teach some spelling rules, which may help the student to learn which spelling to use, but I prefer to first give the child an opportunity to learn in a natural way as do most native speakers, but with...

Morphed Alphabet Cards Set 2 of 2 (16 cards) with instructions
These cards are very helpful when teaching phonics. Some ideas on how to use them are included. The pictures act as mnemonics. I�ve kept the letters in lowercase as these are usually more difficult to identify than uppercase and small letters are used more than 90 percent of the time in reading and writing. Pages 1-4 Cards. Page 5 instructions....

Simple Present Game Cards 25-32 of 40
The game is called "Get a Present" The game is designed for 3-6 players, but since there are only 40 cards then deal just 4-5 cards each to begin with and place the remainder of the pack face down in the middle. You can see by the question marks that each card has only one target question, though it is possible, and sometimes necessary, for a...

What do they like to eat? in colour and greyscale

5 in a row phonic spinners 4 with scorecards and instructions
"5 In a Row". Let me describe it as a teacher led activity, though a student can take the part of the teacher or students can play in pairs or groups. A student rolls a (large) dice and calls the number. "Four!" The teacher, out of direct sight of the students, takes a paper clip and pencil or chopstick and spins the clip around the pencil point...
