I have noticed a lot of focus on 'making it better for boys' and ensuring boys do not 'fall behind' in Ofsted inspections. I have collated the following links to support my own cpd and thought I'd share -
https://www.gov.uk/government/public...iteracy-skills - improve boys literacy skills
http://www.foundationyears.org.uk/wp...nd-writing.pdf - encourage boys writing
Community Playthings | Making it better for boys - make it better for boys
https://www.islington.gov.uk//~/medi...ingboysleaflet - good practice activity ideas.
Why won't boys engage in the early years ? - Early Years Careers - finding ways to engage boys
I have focused on boys in my e-book 53 'Working with Boys' - Knutsford Childminding | Sarah Neville - Registered Childminder.
Hth :)
