The Centre for Literacy in Primary Education’s (CLPE) Core Booklist is a selection of carefully chosen texts for teachers to use when they are developing collections for their classrooms and schools as part of their reading and literacy programmes.  It contains books which have been tried, tested and found to work successfully in classrooms, providing children with memorable and positive reading experiences.

The Core Booklist, originally a printed publication, contains a comprehensive selection of hundreds of high quality texts for children from ages three to eleven. You can search by Key Stage, Year, Book Type, Title or Publisher, or just use the pre-created booklists.
