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.

a, an, the: color and B & W
The Japanese language doesn�t use articles, so even advanced speakers have difficulty with them. Actually I think my young learners did better than some of my adult students with this one. An answer key (as if you need one) is included as well as some ideas for teaching articles.

3 pages of Phonic Comics with ph study: worksheet, comic dialogue and key (#35)
Here is another one focusing on /ph/ as in phone. Notice the phone at the top right. I use "phone" as a key word to help my students focus on this spelling pattern and sound. The comic dialogue on page 2 has on the same target as the worksheet. I live in Kagoshima prefcture and we do get hit by typhoons. They can be very scary at times.

The Land Animal Alphabet with key
I searched online and could not find an alphabet poster with only land animals, so now there is one. It should printout clearly even at an A3 size. I put in a key as even native speakers may struggle to name all the animals.
