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.

Countable Uncountable and Containers flash cards 1-6 of many.
Have you ever taught countables and uncountables in English only and then tried showing students how we can move from uncountable to countable using containers and then numbers (noun-adjectives)? Maybe you�re a far better teacher than I, as I often end up with blank faces. Perhaps cards such as these will help teachers teach and students unders...

Suffix Links 3 ee ea e_e: phonics worksheet
Sometimes a child just has to remember. The ee ea and e_e carry the same sound so we cannot know the spelling from the sound alone. We can of course teach some spelling rules, which may help the student to learn which spelling to use, but I prefer to first give the child an opportunity to learn in a natural way as do most native speakers, but with...

Simple Present Game Track and Backs for game cards with key.
There are two tracks, the blue track and the red track, and the target is to be the first one to reach the end of your track. The two players start in the bottom left and right hand corners and say: "He eats ice cream on weekends." "He studies math (maths) on Mondays." Then they each race along their tracks saying "He cleans his room on Sundays....

3 pages of Phonic Fun with ir: worksheet, story and key (#12)
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...

Demonstrative Pronoun Poster
I was looking online for demonstrative pronoun flash cards, but their is not much of value out there. This one is more of a reference card for children to use when using demonstrative pronouns in speaking or writing activities. I�ll probably make some flash cards/activity cards to go with this at a later date.

Phonic flash cards and posters: 5 pages
I have slowly been decorating my new classroom and would like to share these resources with you. As before if they prove reasonably popular then I will make more. The anchors (top sheet) can be used as flash cards and/or mini posters. I am going to cut them out and stick them on the wall above the phonic posters. David, how do you spell green? /...

Hungry! (In colour and greyscale).
I have rewritten my dialogue to give practice with quantities and food in a restaurant setting. Students read the dialogue, do the vocabulary puzzle (answers are all in the dialogue) and then they do the comprehension questions both orally and written. This worksheet can also be used in role play.

What do they want to do?: in colour and grayscale with answer key.
Another hard to find worksheet using -want to do-. Children read the sentences, number the pictures and fill in the blanks with suitable verbs. Before I use this I�m planning on reviewing some common verbs using the present continuous and then introducing and practicing the structure �He/She wants to��, then we will comb...

Christmas Bingo boards 5-7 (of 10)
As promised here are some more boards. Go to my account to find more. Usually I play with just 18 of the 24 riddle-calling cards and then each child will end up with at least 1 bingo and everyone finishes the game at the same time. If we play in the Christmas party then they get chocolates for points. If you have any questions about the game please...
