Young Boys and Their Writing

A useful guide to understanding how little boys think and learn, and how this filters into their writing output. Use this book to support boys’ writing, and to build lessons that suit their learning styles. This full colour handbook helps you to rise to the challenge of getting boys writing, addressing the questions that concern parents and teachers most. Why is it often harder to get boys to write than girls? Why are boys who love stories reluctant to write their own ideas down? Why is boys’ handwriting so awful? What sort of writing matters to boys – and how can you provide opportunities for them to create it? You’ll find the answers in this book, packed with inspirational ideas and tips based on the latest research in schools.
