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 plan to focus five worksheets on magic e and this is the third one. Probably you know that magic e, although silent, is not the same as a silent e because it has the power to...
