The Reading Spine

Here are the some of the books our children will encounter on their reading journey in KS2. These have been selected to reflect pupils reality, contain a mixture of classic, modern and representative tests as well as reflecting an appropriate level of challenge. It is balanced, diverse, representative and coherent.

Reading 

For those pupils who have completed RWI phonics we follow a Mastery approach to reading using Pathways To Read. Units of work are delivered using high-quality texts and children are given varied opportunities for reading. Skills are built up through repetition in the units, with the opportunity to master key reading skills in each session. 


Writing 


We use Pathways To Write to drive our writing curriculum. This aligns with Pathways To Read, enabling our pupils to make meaningful links between texts. Pathways To Write is a proven methodology that develops vocabulary, reading and writing skills through the mastery approach. Children are provided with a variety of writing opportunities linked to high-quality texts.
