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.

Mini Book 13: Black Sands in colour and greyscale
Another short story which I wrote in 2005. This story uses only single letter sounds apart from the word the, so early readers and dyslexics should have little difficulty in reading it.

Family Flash Cards: 89-100
These are the last cards in the series which totals 100 cards, so you never have the same family twice. I included these 12 �happy family� cards as I wanted to be able to naturally include the pronoun �we� in activities. "What are your family doing this weekend?" "We are going to Osaka." Which is true as today is my last teaching day, then 12 days ...
