Teaching young learners to read in English can be both fun and effective when using engaging, simple texts with interactive activities. To support fellow ESL and EFL teachers, I’ve created a comprehensive reading comprehension set built around a simple story about a cow, along with a variety of worksheets designed to improve vocabulary, reading fluency, and comprehension skills.

Simple Reading Comprehension About Bird (Free PDF)
Teaching English to young learners can be both rewarding and challenging.

This set is designed for beginners (A1-A2 language proficiency) and is perfect for introducing children to basic vocabulary and sentence structures in a fun and interactive way.

Feelings & Emotions Posters and Flashcards
I have designed 3 printable posters and a bunch of flashcards to integrate them into my English classes dedicated to feelings, emotions, and mood. The posters and flashcards depict 48 feelings, emotions and states of mind using images of kids that look like Pixar cartoon characters. It’s probably the biggest feelings and emotions chart you can find on printables designed to help EFL and ESL students develop a richer emotional vocabulary.

Animals Vocabulary Posters
The eight posters featuring animals belong to my collection of printable posters for 20 topics. The posters are good for displaying in the classroom when learning names of animals in English. There will be World Animal Day on October 4, so it would be a great idea to put these posters on the classroom walls to help EFL/ESL students refresh the animals vocabulary.

Alphabet Learning Worksheets (Free PDF)
I have recently created another bunch of printable worksheets that offer elementary school students some fun activities to better memorize the English alphabet as well as learn basic vocabulary. These worksheets are good for non-native speaking kids who finished learning all the ABC letters as well as relevant words starting with these letters and they now need to strengthen this knowledge through activities. Using these printables, I'll ask my young students to circle pictures that start with this or another letter and help a mouse reach a piece of cheese through a letter maze moving from one letter to another in the alphabetical order. I'd like to share these worksheets with my fellow teachers from all over the world. You can find the links below to download them for free in printer-friendly PDF files. I hope my worksheets will help you organize fun English classes.

I’ve recently started to design printable word families worksheets for my English teaching practice. Looking at 154 word family flashcards I created last year, I understand that it’s going to be a really long work.

Irregular Verb Charts - Printable Posters
Irregular verbs are one of the most challenging aspects of English grammar for non-native speakers and especially for kids. There are a lot of irregular verbs along with their confusing forms in English which makes it impossible for young students to memorize them quickly and easily. When I was at school I had to learn lists of irregular verbs and their past simple and past participle forms by heart. But it was hard to hold them in my memory for a long time anyway. It was a boring and painful experience. Now, being an English teacher, I ask myself what I can do to help kids memorize common irregular verbs without turning the process into a torture for their brains. And as you know, my go-to method of teaching English vocabulary to children is visualizing things. You might have already seen my irregular verb flashcards and puzzles. And recently I decided to design printable irregular verb charts in the form of posters incorporating pictures to visualize 100 verbs.

ABC Train - Classroom Decoration
At the beginning of the school year EFL teachers like me will be inviting new students to their classrooms for the first time. Many of those kids have never learned a foreign language before. For some of them learning English will be a big challenge. That’s why I believe it is an important teacher’s mission to reassure young learners and make studying English a fun, interesting and exciting experience. I do my best to impress students even before we start our first English lesson. My arsenal of printable classroom decoration items for kindergarten and elementary school helps me grab children’s attention and get them excited about learning English with me.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar Activities
The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle is one of the children's books that I frequently use for my English classes with kids who learn English as a foreign language. The book is short and simple enough to read with elementary school students. Educators and parents read the story of the very hungry caterpillar with preschoolers and even toddlers in English speaking countries. However, since I teach English to children who are just starting to learn English, I mostly use the book for my classes with 1st graders. And I have designed some printable activities, worksheets, flashcards, and a poster to get the maximum out of the book as an EFL teacher. So I'd like to share some of the visually enhanced activities I use along with "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" book to teach English to children.

CVC Words Flashcards
CVC words are perfect for my elementary school students who started learning English just a few months ago. These short words are easy to memorize, so they are the instant passive vocabulary for non-native speaking kids I teach English to. That is why, when teaching basic English reading rules with CVC words, I do my best to help children memorize those words. I design my printable teaching materials accordingly: with a lot of pictures and word-to-picture matching tasks. I have recently designed a set of printable CVC words flashcards to make learning CVC words even more fun for my young students.
