"This second edition of Supporting Boys' Writing in the Early Years shows you how you can help boys to become confident and capable writers by supporting them to write in ways that make sense to them - on the move, outside and inside, in dens, in bushes, in mud, or sprawled on the floor dressed as superheroes. With brand new examples and case studies from a range of recent projects, as well as an expanded exploration of EAL and culturally diverse writing, the book reveals that a playful, child-centred approach can allow boys and girls to develop a writers' voice and raise attainment in writing and enhance all aspects of young children's development"-- Provided by publisher.
