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.

3 pages of Phonic Fun with oa: worksheet, story and key (#15)
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...

Mini Book 2: In the Attic in colour and greyscale
The success of this story depends a lot on how it is told. Good use of intonation, pausing at the right time, emphasising the new information, putting fear into your voice when calling for "Dad" and receiving or giving a hug (if appropriate) at the end of the story. These simple stories read aloud are excellent for students to practise their own st...

New Alphabet Tracks: letter g 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 c...

What is orange/black and white?: 4 worksheets in color and B & W
Black and white are together. I only have brown and grey to do. I�ll try and make two different grey worksheets to cater for British and American spellings. I was looking on this site for worksheets for young children related to individual colours and found very few so I decided to make another mini series. The coloured worksheets can be used for l...
