Reading Spine

Children are exposed to a wide range of high quality texts throughout Hollybush Primary School via our bespoke reading spine - a carefully selected range of books used by teachers for reading for pleasure. We have developed a collection of texts for each year group to be shared throughout the year. Our reading spine aims to broaden children’s reading experiences via classic texts, diverse texts, non-fiction texts and poetry. Teaching staff make use of daily shared story times to share these texts, as well as sharing favourite and familiar texts of their own.
