There is so much that you can do with children to get them ready to write. Mark making development in boys is statistically slower and less successful than girls. Alistair believes that this has a small part to do with physical development and more to do with appropriate understanding and the planning of engaging activities. His book will help practitioners not only to understand the development stages of becoming a mark maker but are also provide tried and tested activities and interventions to use. Using these techniques he believes they will see a significant difference in progress for boys and girls! As the content is appropriate to stage of development and not age of child it is aimed at children of all ages - from the point that they begin to make marks. An accessible theory into practice book backed up with a 'how to' section which contains real examples of effective initiatives based on case studies in a variety of settings.

Although the ideas  are linked to specific seasons, the concepts and skills are  transferable to other seasons or activities. Suitable for Early Years  practitioners and parents, this book is packed full of original ideas to  inspire both adults and children. There are activities for both indoor and outdoor inspiration as well as some that can be done in both. Each activity also features guidance on how to extend the learning further as well as an overview of some of the things the children will be learning while they are participating. Regardless of whether you are freezing in the winter snow or melting in summer sun there will be something here to inspire!
