Overview

"This text reports the findings of a case study of a primary school whose staff wanted to explore and improve boys' attitudes towards, and attainment in literacy, and in particular their difficulties with writing. Through the case study, the author highlights three major issues: the reading and writing of stories; what teachers understand by ""good"" story writing; and the importance of teachers exploring boys' and girls' difficulties with literacy for themselves. This book offers significant insight into boys' difficulties with writing, as well as informing teachers how they might find out about children's attainment for themselves."
