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.

I believe that this is now the only Sea Creatures Alphabet available on ESL Printables. It is surprising how many people, including students, who are interested in sea creatures.

Twin Opposites with a key that acts as an extra worksheet.
Page 1 is relatively easy as it has a word bank. Page 2 acts as a key, but the teacher can do so much more with it. Use it for practising interviews, as a reading comprehension task, for finding the opposites and more. You know the level of your students so you are the one to set any comprehension tasks IMO. You can erase or crop the "Word Bank"...
