Here it is, long awaited by some, a fully resourced and planned reading curriculum for KS2.
I’d like to start by saying (and I know many of you have already done this for CPD) that this curriculum is free, but does represent hundreds of hours of hard work from teachers across our MAT, and all we’d ask in return if you’re going to use it is that you please donate a book to our children from the link below. It is 405 free lessons – 100ish per year group!

Here is the rationale behind the curriculum

And here is some information about how it’s taught:
Whole Class Reading: 2019-2020
Whole Class Reading: Reflecting and Rejigging
So below is the curriculum – each document also has hyperlinks to each lesson. The vast majority of the lessons themselves tell you on the first page where to find the text and which bits to read. If the text is not hyperlinked, I am afraid you will need to source it yourself. This is the case with all of the picture books.
PLEASE DO NOT REQUEST TO EDIT ANY OF THE RESOURCES AS THEY ARE ALL THE MASTER – YOU NEED TO EITHER PRESS ‘FILE’ AND ‘MAKE A COPY’ OR DOWNLOAD IT FOR YOURSELF. SORRY TO PUT THIS IN CAPS BUT IT BATTERS MY INBOX.
It is a moveable feast so you may notice things change from time to time. Just this morning we added in three days on hearing impairments in Y3 and Y3 Rocks And Fossils was updated. As the documents are live google docs these changes will transfer over to you. Anyway here they are:
