The core texts are chosen carefully by the staff for their class. They are age-appropriate and are used to inspire, amaze and enjoy. The texts are used as a focal point for planning and are often linked to topics and themes. Teachers use the texts to encourage children to write, draw, design and make. Adults in all classes read to the children daily and sometimes these texts are used. On other occasions, teachers may choose another exciting age-appropriate book to read and share with the children every day. Repeated reads are used in EYFS, Year 1 and Autumn term for Year 2, to develop a knowledge of stories and story vocabulary.
