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.

5 in a row phonic spinners 4 with scorecards and instructions
"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.
