Our Reading Spine at Rothwell Primary School is a core set of key texts that create a living library inside a child's mind. They are selected for their ability to develop the imagination and equip the reader with language, story patterns and quality text models. We use these key texts as a tool to support teaching writing.

It is important to note that the key texts listed are supplemented by many other books - books that support our wider curriculum and also books that we simply read together for pleasure.
