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.

Days of the Week: Tuesday and Wednesday (4 worksheets, color and B & W)
Search the internet for worksheets dealing with individual days of the week. There is hardly anything out there, so to fill another gap I am starting this new series, which I hope you will enjoy. In choosing the sentences and graphics, I have tried to relate to the mostly happy events in the the life of children.

Capital Track I in full color, black and white and blank.

As I get time I will produce the others.Suggestions on how to ...

Clipit Cards 41-60 of 60 with backs
Print, laminate and cut out the cards. Scatter the cards and give each child a clothespin/peg. The child attaches it to one of the words and, if correct, keeps the cards. These can also be used in flash card games. They will look a lot more professional if you give them backs.

3 pages of Phonic Fun with ou: worksheet, story and key (#10)
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...

Plurals to Singular Crossword 2 with keys.
After noticing that most worksheets move from the singular to the plural, I decided to reverse the situation. Children are encouraged to write the plurals first and then the singular. This one is slightly more difficult than the first.

A, An or Some
Last semester I gave my uni students a lovely worksheet from Ana (Katiana), which used a, an, some, much, many and any as a review, and they did so badly. Don�t blame me. Anyway I have created this one in the hope that they will more than just guess and gain some confidence in their English. I hope you don�t need an answer key at this level.
