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 ph study: worksheet, comic dialogue and key (#35)
Here is another one focusing on /ph/ as in phone. Notice the phone at the top right. I use "phone" as a key word to help my students focus on this spelling pattern and sound. The comic dialogue on page 2 has on the same target as the worksheet. I live in Kagoshima prefcture and we do get hit by typhoons. They can be very scary at times.

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."
