At St Anne’s Primary School, we teach English by following the Literary Curriculum (Literacy Tree). The Literary Curriculum is a complete, thematic approach to the teaching of primary English that places children’s literature at its core.
Literacy Tree is an award-winning platform which has designed a curriculum which
immerses children in a literary world, therefore creating strong levels of engagement
to provide meaningful and authentic contexts for primary English. Children become critical readers and acquire an authorial style as they encounter a wide-range of significant authors and a variety of diverse fiction, non-fiction and poetry.
As a whole-school approach, children explore a wide range of literary texts and significant authors as they move through the school. It provides complete coverage of all National Curriculum expectations for writing composition, reading comprehension, grammar, punctuation and vocabulary. All plans lead to purposeful application within a wide variety of written outcomes.
At our school, the Literacy Tree texts are mapped out across each Key Stage to ensure progression and National Curriculum coverage across all year groups.
