A core selection of modern classics chosen by literacy expert Pie Corbett. Help all your pupils build their inner kingdom of stories. “Imagine a primary school where pupils enjoy, discuss and work with a core of around 80 books. These ‘essential reads’ would be a store of classics, creating a living library inside a child’s mind. This is the Reading Spine… a common bank of stories that bind the community together. These are shared and deeply imagined common experiences.” That’s how Pie describes the Reading Spine. We love the idea – and if you love it too, this pack is the perfect place to get started.
