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.

Big or Little?: worksheets and flash cards part 1 of 2 (5 pages)
Big and little may seem to be simple concepts but size is a relative concept. An elephant may always seem big to me but not always so to another elephant. Anyway, in this set there are 10 pairs of flash cards (20 different cards) and 2 worksheets. One worksheet follows my hot/cold worksheet design and the other my this/that worksheet design. Backs ...

3 pages of Phonic Fun with or: worksheet, story and key (#11)
Hi, See my account for other worksheets in this series. The stories are classified as "decodable", but unlike many so called decodable stories these have over 90 percent decodable text as opposed to the 40- 60 percent found in most "phonic readers" I mix sentence fragments with grammatically correct sentences as fragments are often easier for beg...

I spy occupations poster 2 and new criss cross worksheet: words and pictures
I was surprised at how many comments and downloads the first one (http://www.eslprintables.com/printable.asp?id=451098#thetop) recieved, so I guess you like it. Here is another, the last I suspect as it takes an age to do and I doubt I can think up another set of job titles. Many more occupations in this poster. Make small groups and give each gro...

ABC mini-books Dd and Ee: Colour, B & W and blank books (6 pages plus suggestions for use)
Finding suitable vocabulary for the Ee worksheet was difficult. Children never ask What is an eggkid? some teachers do. I have no answer. Back to work today (Thursday), so less time for this task but I will surely continue to the end. Thanks for your comments. I envision that you will use different worksheets with different classes but if you prog...

3 pages of Phonic Comics with ey: worksheet, comic dialogue and key (#31)
Hi, There are 3 of my worksheets today. This story/dialogue is one of my favourites as it is based on facts. My young son "Jonathan" (ignoring my warning) ran in front of a car and had his leg broken. My students love rolling on the floor shouting "My leg! My leg! My leg!" It is possible that this worksheet will take me past the 5000 point mark ...
