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.

If we play in the Christmas party then they get choco...

3 pages of Phonic Comics with ph study: worksheet, comic dialogue and key (#35)
Here is another one focusing on /ph/ as in phone. Notice the phone at the top right. I use "phone" as a key word to help my students focus on this spelling pattern and sound. The comic dialogue on page 2 has on the same target as the worksheet. I live in Kagoshima prefcture and we do get hit by typhoons. They can be very scary at times.
