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.

The Alphabet
Hi, I designed this for a classroom display. All the pictures are representations of the anchor words which I use in the teaching of phonics. If you have access to an A3 sized printer then it is possible to print this out clearly at this size, you can even make mini flash cards of them. You can also print at for example A5 size and stick a copy in...

Marva Collins Phoneme Cards 29-32 of many
After watching The Marva Collins Story on Youtube and seeing some interesting posters on her classroom wall I designed these cards which can be used as game cards, flashcards and posters. The reason I think these are also useful for older students is that it allows them to gain an insight into spelling and phonics and through that the confidence to...

Whose are these? Flashcards 17-24 of 24 with backs and key
Here are some newly made flash cards for practicing the possessive s with "Whose are these?" and occupations. "Whose hats are these?" "They are the clown�s hats." or "Those are the clown�s hats." I decided to have fun and give each card its own border. If you print the back, it will be easy to keep the cards together and the right way up.

5 In a Row Food Groups Spinners and Scorecards
"5 In a Row". Let me describe it as a teacher led activity, though a student can take the part of the teacher or students can play in pairs or groups. A student rolls a (large) dice and calls the number. "Four!" The teacher, out of direct sight of the students, takes a paper clip and pencil or chopstick and spins the clip around the pencil point...

Another set of unique flash cards which, if you down load them all, will eventually morph into a game of "Switchit". Can you see that each card is color coded? I plan to upload a total of 70 conjunction cards as well as the rules for the game and special �switchit� which transform the cards into a UNO style game. I will include the answer key t...

This is the first in a new series, which focuses on longer adjectives and adverbs. Students complete the word search, crosswords and read the sentences to distinguish the context to help them choose the correct adverb or adjective to complete each sentence. If the response is reasonable, I will create some more. I hope that you and your stude...
