I have been working with children with speech and language difficulties in my school for four years and really enjoyed the speech and language series in Nursery World.
Let us hope that the Government will continue to expand its speech and language funding so that the children who start school and find it hard to listen then stand a chance.

BOYS' PLAY APPROACH
The story 'Let boys play with guns, says DCSF' is wrong (News, 10 January). Our guidance encourages support for child-initiated imaginative play. It is a common-sense approach which recognises that young children, particularly boys, like boisterous, physical activity and pretending to be superheroes of one kind or another, such as Star Wars characters with their light sabres. Such play is good for their development as well as good fun, and it is not in the child's best interest to stop it.
