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.

Read! Spell! Do! playing cards (an extra 30 cards) Adverbs and Adjectives 5
Notice the change in the Spell cards which can take on the endings ier and iest. I ran out of suitable single syllable adjectives. You will need the playing board, which is here: http://www.eslprintables.com/printable.asp?id=463371#this#. The cards can be used independently of the board. Print 2 sets and play matching games, have reading races, m...

Mini Book 10: Brazil in colour and greyscale
I have rewritten this 2005 story to make a suitable for a mini book. This story uses only single letter sounds apart from the word �the�, so early readers and dyslexics should have little difficulty in reading it. For reading comprehension interact with the children like this: Is Brazil a big or a little country? Show me a (tamarin). Can you (...

Mini Book 2: In the Attic in colour and greyscale
The success of this story depends a lot on how it is told. Good use of intonation, pausing at the right time, emphasising the new information, putting fear into your voice when calling for "Dad" and receiving or giving a hug (if appropriate) at the end of the story. These simple stories read aloud are excellent for students to practise their own st...

Christmas Bingo board 3-4 (of 10) and Calling Cards 17-24 (of 24) plus backs
Hi. In the spirit of Christmas I have decided to reupload my Christmas Bingo cards. The pictures are a little heavy so I can only get 2 boards and these calling cards into the document, each board has the same vocabulary but the pictures are all in different locations. Usually I play with just 18 of the 24 riddle-calling cards and then each child w...

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.

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 ...
