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.

Word Puzzle 1: I can, includes 2 puzzles and backs
This puzzle is based on the ideads of Gitte (Mulle) who encouraged me to upload them; thank you Gitte. If you want to change colours of the smiley images, then copy and paste into MSPaint. I printed onto thin card, cut into squares and dealt the cards to the students. They did the rest.

Christmas Loopcards 2 (expanded and re-uploaded)
It is a domino type game except that the children must form a loop with the cards. You can print out a few sets and have children race to see which team wins first. If I do during a Christmas party, then I reward the children with chocolates. The original (re-uploaded) cards were designed for nonreaders and of course can be used in any language, th...

Whose are these? Flashcards 1-8 of 24
Here are some newly made flash cards for practicing the possessive s with "Whose are these?" and occupations. "Whose CDs are these?" "They are the singer�s CDs." or "Those are the singer�s CDs." I decided to have fun and give each card its own border. If you print the back, it will be easy to keep the cards together and the right way up.

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...

Mini Book: A Big Bed in colour and greyscale
This is my first effort at a mini book, I was inspired to create it when I used one of Julia�s great mini books (http://www.eslprintables.com/printable.asp?id=431895#thetop) in my classroom. The children really enjoyed making and reading their books. I wrote today�s story about 5 years ago but I rarely use it in class. Now with the mini book I ...
