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 pages of Phonic Comics with ew: worksheet, comic dialogue and key (#30)
Hi, There are 3 of my worksheets today. The "ew" sound has two distinct pronunciations. American and British pronunciations are clearly different in some cases. Whenever possible I avoid using words which have alternative spellings so more teachers can use these difficult to edit worksheets. For example I avoided the use of jewelry/jewellery. A...

3 pages of Phonic Comics with ea head: worksheet, comic dialogue and key (#33)
Here is another one focusing on /e/ as in head. Notice the head at the top right. I use "head" as a key word to help my students focus on this spelling pattern and sound. The comic dialogue on page 2 is one of my favourites. I hope that you like it. I sometimes make comprehension exercises to go with the worksheets but really it is a lot of work ea...

Adverbs and Adjectives (series 2) with keys
This is the first in a new series, which focuses on longer adjectives and adverbs. Students complete the word search, crosswords and read the sentences to distinguish the context to help them choose the correct adverb or adjective to complete each sentence. If the response is reasonable, I will create some more. I hope that you and your stude...

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...
