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.

Dealing with Countries (Get a Country) 3-4 of 6 (with backs)
This is the last. If you missed the others then go to my account and select "newest first". These took a while to design. I haven�t yet printed out cards for myself, but I�m confident that it is a worthwhile game and will probably make it available commercially. Of course you get it for free. If you see any major errors like a wrong flag or someth...

Capital Track F in full color, black and white and blank.
This upper case F has a different vocabulary set from the lower case letter. I have thickened some lines keep the child on the right track. English does not have a set stroke order so some of you may use a different stroke order, for example starting at the farmer, in this case you can make your own; sorry. Suggestions on how to use the worksheet ...

Where�s the alien? Capital K track game in full colour, black and white and blank.

The Checkup: Story and Comprehension with ch
I was feeling out of sorts when I wrote this, having low blood pressure. I won�t tell you how low as I don�t want to give you a heart attack.

3 pages of Phonic Fun with ow: worksheet, story and key (#13)
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...
