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.

These take quite a time for me to make, so they may be intermittent.

Such puzzles are not only useful but interesting for the student. This particular puzzle, which comes in 4 different variations, focuses on the spelling patterns and sounds repr...
