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.

New Alphabet Tracks: letter i in full color, black and white and blank.
This is another of my "new" "Alphabet Tracks" Another idea is to provide players with a list of the words and they have to try and complete the ‘spelling’ track without any errors and without reference to the list. The child holding the list checks the spelling of the other player/s. More information and a key inside. Today�s other con...

ABC mini-books Xx and Yy: Colour, B & W and blank books (6 pages plus suggestions for use)
A word about the word Yank. Sometimes this word can be used derogatorily but be assured that a New York Yankees fan will wear the badge proudly. The word Yank tank is or was common in South Africa and Australia and speaks well of American engineering as these, now classic, vehicles would keep going forever. I did not want to use the word yo-yo but ...

Plurals Crossword and Sentence Completion Puzzle with Key
This worksheet briefly covers irregular, -en, -ves, -s, -es and ies plurals. It has some picture clues to help get your students/pupils going. This is the last worksheet in this set.

Hi, I�m having (and giving you) a break from phonics. I couldn�t find my opposites crossword so I decided to make this exercise as I must teach adjectives and opposites this week.
