Pie Corbett's Reading Spine Teacher's Guide

A simple guide to delivering Pie Corbett’s Reading Spine: a programme that helps every child build their inner kingdom of stories. “Imagine a school where children 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. Schools that have a reading spine build a common bank of stories that bind the community together. These are shared and deeply imagined common experiences.” That’s how literacy expert Pie describes the Reading Spine. We love the idea – and if you love it too, this book of ideas and advice will help you get started.
