Literary Curriculum

The Literacy Tree

Created in 2012, the award-winning Literacy Tree is used by over 50,000 teachers across the UK and schools worldwide to ‘Teach Through a Text’. It is a complete book-based approach to the teaching of primary English that can be used as a complete Scheme of Work or can be adapted by schools to fit with their existing curriculum provision. With over 400 book-based resources including Writing Roots for writing, Literary Leaves for reading, and Spelling Seeds to support spelling and vocabulary acquisition, this comprehensive resource supports schools with creating a community where children develop into critical readers and informed writers. 

Literacy Tree won in the English category of the Teach Primary Awards in 2019 and 2020 and was the winner overall in 2022. It won the BETT award for Teaching and Learning in 2022.

For Years EYFS - 7

Written by teachers, for teachers, Literacy Tree has complete coverage of all National Curriculum expectations for writing composition, grammar, punctuation, spelling and vocabulary, and reading comprehension. The plans for writing (Writing Roots) guide teachers through using a text starting with discovery points that lead to purposeful writing opportunities with a range of genres. The Literary Leaves teach Reading Comprehension and are written for Y2-Y6.

Deliberately designed 'Teach Through a Text' pedagogy for planning – designed to immerse, engage but also cover objectives.

Anyone can access whole-school curriculum maps which schools can use to adopt or adapt ( see our ‘ How it Works ’ page). Other features for members include an interactive assessment tool and a writing sharing platform. An APP is being launched in September 2023 to support assessment and further share work samples as well as annotate plans.

All members have access to the hundreds of work samples that appear on the site. 

Curriculum maps, progression and coverage documents and overviews are included.

All plans are written with a consistent and cohesive approach that is used across a school from Reception to Y6 transition.

Resources included for Writing, Reading Comprehension and Spelling all link together under literary themes to support deepening knowledge around quality texts.

English Subject knowledge for teachers is embedded within resources. Examples of modelled writing and questioning as well as how to use grammar is detailed at the point of application.

Staff Training & Support

Pathways to Write

The Literacy Company

Pathways to Write is an award winning* proven methodology designed to equip pupils with key skills to move them through the writing process towards their final outcome. Each unit focuses on a finite number of skills that are built upon progressively and repeated throughout the year. This allows pupils to build confidence so that each skill can be mastered. To support this approach, clear, detailed, lesson plans and classroom resources to support teacher workload and subject knowledge, are linked to high-quality texts to ensure engaging and purposeful English lessons. The units can be used thematically to encourage a whole school approach to writing with the opportunity for topics to link across all year groups.
