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.

Phonic Alphabet Circle with instructions
A few teachers are downloading my early learning resources, so I will continue for a little while to upload more at this easy starter level. The cards can be used individually, cooperatively or competitively. The creative teacher will easily think of other fun ways to use these cards. That is an X-ray fish in there. Have fun in class.

Gg Picture Covers: An exercise in phonics with answer key and cumulative notes.
