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.

Back to work today (Thursday), so less time for this task but I will surely continue to the end. Thanks for your comments. I envision that you will use different worksheets with different classes but if you prog...

Big or Little?: worksheets and flash cards part 2 of 2 (5 pages)
Big and little may seem to be simple concepts but size is a relative concept. An elephant may always seem big to me but not always so to another elephant. Anyway, in this set there are 10 pairs of flash cards (20 different cards) and 2 worksheets. One worksheet follows my hot/cold worksheet design and the other my this/that worksheet design. Backs ...

Marva Collins Phoneme Cards 25-28 of many
After watching The Marva Collins Story on Youtube and seeing some interesting posters on her classroom wall I designed these cards which can be used as game cards, flashcards and posters. The reason I think these are also useful for older students is that it allows them to gain an insight into spelling and phonics and through that the confidence to...

Countable Uncountable and Containers flash cards 7-12 of many.
Have you ever taught countables and uncountables in English only and then tried showing students how we can move from uncountable to countable using containers and then numbers (noun-adjectives)? Use these cards for pair work. What do you want? I want some flour. How much flour do you want? I want a 25 pound bag of flour.

For reading comprehension interact with the children like this: How many dogs in his picture? Show me the (sad dog). Which...
