Summary Note
"Reaching the Unseen Children provides a powerful and accessible resource for schools working to raise the attainment of all disadvantaged pupils, with particular emphasis on white children from low-income backgrounds. This group - especially boys - consistently on average underperform in the education system, and the effects of COVID-19 will only have widened the gap. Drawing on her long experience of working with disadvantaged and left-behind communities, Jean Gross describes the path that many children take, from early language delays to persistent literacy and numeracy difficulties, which lead to progressive disengagement from learning. She argues that progress will only be made through early intervention and building pupils' sense of capability, and sets out low-cost, low-effort ways in which teachers can transform outcomes for their students - through the everyday language they use, the expectations they convey, and the relationships they build with pupils and their parents. Providing practical, evidence-based strategies and case studies of schools with outstanding practice, this an essential guide for anyone working in education who is seeking equity for all their pupils. Jean Gross CBE is a best-selling author and expert on children's issues. Formerly the government's Communication Champion for children, she has led many national initiatives to improve life chances for those who struggle to succeed in our education system. Her previous books published with Routledge include Time To Talk (2018) and Beating Bureaucracy in Special Educational Needs (2015)"--
