Pie Corbett’s Reading Spine – Teacher’s Guide

All the support you need to deliver Pie Corbett’s Reading Spine: the programme that helps every child build their inner kingdom of stories.

“Imagine a school where pupils enjoy, discuss and work with a core of 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.”

That’s how literacy expert Pie describes the Reading Spine. We love the idea – and if you love it too, this book will help you get started, with six simple steps to follow, plus top tips and teaching notes.
