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.

Asking Directions with Answer Key
Students fill in the blanks and practise the dialogues. The editable page is designed for a correspondence type lesson. I deliberately avoided the overuse of the word �straight� as students often think of it as a preposition of movement, which it isn�t.

3 Magic pages of Phonic Fun with u_e: worksheet, story and key (#25)
Well this is the last for now but the series will continue in a slightly different format. Instead of stories I�m going to use dialogues which will be very useful for mostly pairwork. I really need to write more stories and dialogues but it all takes time. Thanks to everyone who left comments; it�s most encouraging to know that my work is appreciat...

Capital Track V in full color, black and white and blank.
Well W is next and I don�t think I can find the words so perhaps I will come up with a new board game as a distraction. X, Y, Z does not hold much hope either. We will eventually get to the end. This upper case V has a different vocabulary set from the lower case letter. I have thickened some lines to keep the child on the right track. Suggestion...

It�s a boy�s world flash cards (17-32 of 32) with backs, activities and instructions

Twin Opposites with a key that acts as an extra worksheet.
Page 1 is relatively easy as it has a word bank. Page 2 acts as a key, but the teacher can do so much more with it. Use it for practising interviews, as a reading comprehension task, for finding the opposites and more. You know the level of your students so you are the one to set any comprehension tasks IMO. You can erase or crop the "Word Bank"...

Double Phonic Fun 1 in colour and greyscale with key
A fellow member requested I do something with double consonants so I have taken a break from mini books and done this. I hope to do a couple more this week before getting back to my mini book series. This worksheet concentrates on bb, dd, ff and gg. I have kept the vocabulary and sentence structure at a basic level to ensure your students can succ...

The other part is here: http://www.eslprintables.com/printable.asp?id=448961#thetop#. Hi.

A worksheet in color and B & W and a set o...

3 pages of Phonic Fun with er: worksheet, story and key (#19)
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...

Adverbs of Time Flash/Game Cards 31-40
These can be used as game cards or flash cards. You will need 10 Switchit cards (It is an UNO style game called Adverb Switchit) and there are two of those cards on page 3. I will upload more later this week. I include the optional backs each time. I print on thick inkjet paper, laminate and cut. Your students are sure to enjoy playing Switchit, mi...
