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.

Adverbs of Frequency Flash/Game Cards 41-50

I will upload more later this week. I will include the optional backs each time. I print on thick inkjet paper, laminate and cut. Your students are sure to enjoy playing Switch...

What are they playing? (2 of 2) In colour and grayscale
I decided to do one more related to music as I thought it good to contrast these two forms of play using musical instruments and sports. Children can use the list of musical instruments to assist them in completing the worksheet. Buzz, buzz. Here is the other one: http://www.eslprintables.com/printable.asp?id=652200#thetop

I Spy Land and Sea: African Animals and Ocean Creatures

They must first find the words and then write them on the board. For new vocabulary, write the word on the board and have them find the correct picture. Now give them the word shapes puzzle to d...

Suffix Links 3 oa ow oe o_e: phonics worksheet (colour and B & W) updated
These worksheets often use the same vocabulary as my "Circle Sounds Puzzles", this is the way it should be when teaching spelling, phonics and vocabulary. Repetition, repetition, repetition until automacity is reached. Keeping the child interested is the challenging and hopefully fun part of the process. For those of you who are teaching phonics, ...

New Alphabet Tracks: letter i 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 con...

3 pages of Phonic Fun with sh: worksheet, story and key (#7)
Hi, See my account for other worksheets in this series. I mix sentence fragments with grammatically correct sentences as fragments are often easier for beginners to understand. If you wish to edit the "word bank" out, open the document, copy the file, paste into MSPaint and erase the word bank. There will be many worksheets in the series. Chil...

What is big?: pictionaries, 2 versions with and without words. Instructions inside.
Whether something is big or little is relative and most of the teaching materials available do not show this relativity but this work does. Look out for the little pictionary which is here http://www.eslprintables.com/printable.asp?id=567220#thetop and the big little bingo which is coming in a day or so. This worksheet complements my earlier work...

Like It Or Not
Linda and Cliff are characters taken from one of my stories. You should find the short dialog useful when talking about hometowns, likes and dislikes. One needs adjectives for descriptive language so this section will get students thinking about them. Here they can use only one and two syllable adjectives to describe each picture. A variety of answ...
