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.

Capital Track U in full color, black and white and blank.
This is the last one for now. Maybe there will be more capitals in future, but I need to give it some thought as I do not want just more of the same. If you missed any just go to my account and click on Newest First. I am using the capital letters A, E, I, O and U to introduce vocabulary with long vowel sounds. Suggestions on how to use the worksh...

3 pages of Phonic Fun with ow: worksheet, story and key (#13)
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...

Family Flash Cards: 65-72 of 72
Although these are primarily designed as family flash cards they can be used in many other areas such as, as previously mentioned, in combination with verb cards. "What�s your sister doing?"

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 ...

Words and Sentences 3 with answer key.
The first one in the series came out 7 months ago.This one focuses on the affixes -ence and -ance, which are difficult when it comes to spelling because they generally sound the same, if root is ant, then we use ance and if the root is ent we use ence, but English seems to have exceptions everywhere. The key is on page two.
