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.

What are they playing? (2 of 2) In colour and grayscale
I decided to do one more related to music as I thought it good to contrast these two forms of play using musical instruments and sports.

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...

Countable Uncountable and Containers flash cards 1-6 of many.
Have you ever taught countables and uncountables in English only and then tried showing students how we can move from uncountable to countable using containers and then numbers (noun-adjectives)? Maybe you�re a far better teacher than I, as I often end up with blank faces. Perhaps cards such as these will help teachers teach and students unders...

What is little?: pictionaries, 2 versions with and without words. Instructions inside.
Whether something is big or little is relative and most of the teaching materials available do not show this relativity but this work does. Look out for the big pictionary which is here http://www.eslprintables.com/printable.asp?id=567218#thetop and the big little bingo which is coming in a day or so. This worksheet complements my earlier work re...

New Alphabet Tracks: letter g in full color, black and white and blank.
This is another of my "new" "Alphabet Tracks" Another idea is to provide players with a list of the words and they have to try and complete the ‘spelling’ track without any errors and without reference to the list. The child holding the list checks the spelling of the other player/s. More information and a key inside. Today�s other c...
