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.

3 More pages of Phonic Fun with oo: worksheet, story and key (#9)

Impossibility Activity Cards with Can youI...? reuploaded
I first made these in 2009 but they then contained iclipart images which are allowed in my books but not allowed to share online.

I�m not sure how many cards I will make but these cards all focus on �impossibility� and in English we usually give "No!"...

Whenever possible I avoid using words which have alternative spellings so more teachers can use these difficult to edit worksheets. For example I avoided the use of jewelry/jewellery. A...
