Literacy Long Term Book Maps

Map out your core texts with clarity and intention.

This editable Literacy Long Term Plan template helps you map your core books across the academic year.

Designed for Nursery and EYFS, it lets you sequence your focus texts term by term, link them to your themes (if you use them), and build a language-rich curriculum that values depth, repetition and ambitious vocabulary.

What’s included:
An editable long term literacy map template
Clear term-by-term layout (Autumn, Spring, Summer)
Space to organise core texts and themes

My completed plans from the last two academic years (2024–2025 and 2025–2026) for real-life examples and inspiration.

These are the actual documents I use to organise our core story approach - mapped carefully, reviewed regularly and adapted when the children need something different.

Perfect for:
EYFS teachers refining their literacy spine
Settings developing a strong core book approach
Subject leaders reviewing curriculum intent
Anyone who wants clarity without rewriting everything from scratch

Use it as it is, tweak it, or completely reshape it to match your curriculum. It’s fully editable.
