Our Reading Spine
Our reading spine has been developed to ensure progression and that children are exposed to a wide range of text types, increasing their familiarity with a wide range of genres, including myths, legends and traditional stories, modern fiction, fiction, non-fiction, poetry from our literary heritage, and books from other cultures and traditions. These are the books we want all of our children to know by the time they leave primary school. The texts on this spine are read for pleasure and/or form the basis of reading into writing.
