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.

Pronoun Flashcards: 49-60 of 70 including backs
More of this set, as requested. I usually print backs on my cards and find that using thick inkjet paper, laminating and then cutting is the best way to go.

Countable Uncountable and Containers flash cards 19-24 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)? These will help students distinguish between How much? and How many?

5 in a row phonic spinners 4 with scorecards and instructions
"5 In a Row". Let me describe it as a teacher led activity, though a student can take the part of the teacher or students can play in pairs or groups.

This worksheet complements my earlier work re...

This is the...
