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.

Morphed Alphabet Cards Set 1 of 2 (12 cards) with instructions
These cards are very helpful when teaching phonics. Some ideas on how to use them are included. The pictures act as mnemonics. I�ve kept the letters in lowercase as these are usually more difficult to identify than uppercase and small letters are used more than 90 percent of the time in reading and writing. Pages 1-3 Cards. Page 4 instructions....

Suffix Links 2 ay ay a_e: phonics worksheet
Sometimes a child just has to remember. The ai ay and a_e carry the same sound so we cannot know the spelling from the sound alone.

Adverbs and Adjectives 2 (series 2) with keys
This is the second in a new series, which focuses on longer adjectives and adverbs. Students complete the word search, crossword and read the sentences to distinguish the context to help them choose the correct adverb or adjective to complete each sentence. These take quite a time for me to make, so they may be intermittent.

All teams are in play together. I...

Challenge your students to simply describe the pictures. Let me give you a couple of examples. 1. It is green. It has straight lines. It is used in counting. 2. It is grey. It is circular.
