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 is little?: pictionaries, 2 versions with and without words. Instructions inside.

This worksheet complements my earlier work re...

Word Puzzle 2: What�s he/she doing? includes 2 puzzles and backs
This puzzle is based on the ideads of Gitte (Mulle) who encouraged me to upload them; thank you Gitte. If you want to change colours of the smiley images, then copy and paste into MSPaint. Print onto thin card, cut into squares and deal the cards to the students. They do the rest.

Question Tags Poster
Use the printable poster to introduce tag questions. If you are like me, my board work is all over the place and I end up confusing my students. This should sort out that problem.

Mini Book 16: Cliff is Fit in colour and greyscale
I have rewritten this 2005 story to make a suitable for a mini book and plan to make another mini book about Cliff in future.. This story uses only single letter sounds and the word of, so early readers and dyslexics should have little difficulty in reading it. I usually have the children sit in a circle and read a page at a time, including the fr...

I�m going to change the format of some future dialogues; this is the last in the present format. Use the dialogue to practice interviews and to talk about future jobs.
