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.

This story uses only single letter sounds apart from the long o sound in gold and tobacco, so early readers and dyslexics should have little difficulty in reading it. For reading comprehension interact with the children like this: Where is Zimbabwe? What 3 big cats live in Zim...

Impossibility Activity Cards with Can I...? reuploaded
I first made these in 2009 but they then contained iclipart images which are allowed in my books but not allowed to share online. I have always planned to renew them but I couldn�t find the original templates so I started again.

Moving On: two versions of the worksheet with answer key
I included two versions of the worksheet, believing that page 1 is more suitable for online classes than page 2. The answer key can easily be adapted to make it into a written assignment.

The teacher, out of direct sight of the students, takes a paper clip and pencil or chopstick and spins the clip around the pencil point in...

Like It Or Not
Linda and Cliff are characters taken from one of my stories. You should find the short dialog useful when talking about hometowns, likes and dislikes.

A variety of answ...
