Is it time we stopped seeing boys as losers, with later development and a consequent certainty of failing in the current curriculum? This book will explore what boys are good at, and how we can help them to become more resilient and successful at school and in their future lives.

The differences between boys and girls, in development and attitude to learning are well documented, and a formalised early curriculum emphasises these differences. The abilities of most girls to meet goals for learning at an earlier age may result in a tendency to focus on trying to teach boys to learn like girls, instead of recognising their unique gifts and abilities. If we are to help boys to become strong, competent learners from an early age, we must resist the temptation to feel sorry for them. We must dispel the myths about 'under-achievement', challenge stereotypical views of gender, and recognise the unique strengths and abilities of young boys.

Following an extensive career as an early years teacher, Ros Bayley now works as a consultant, trainer and storyteller. She has always had a keen interest in teaching of literacy and has written many publications fo early years professionals, including Foundations for Indepence (2nd edition 2005), We Can Do It! (2004), Boys and Girls Come out to Play (2005) and Smooth TransitionsI (2003), all collaborations with Sally Featherstone and published by Featherstone Education. She is co-author (with Sue Palmer) of Foundations of Literacy (Network Continuum, 2004). Ros really enjoys writing with other professionals and has written a number of books with Lynn Broadbent (published by Lawrence Educational Publications). Sally Featherstone has a wealth of experience as a teacher, head teacher and a local authority advisor and inspector. In recent years, alongside her activities in publishing, Sally has continued to build a national reputation as a trainer and consultant in the Primary and Early Years field.
