What are Shine Interventions?

  • Updated

Shine Interventions are targeted interventions for reading skills, GPS, and maths. They are designed to address specific gaps in understanding and deliver targeted individual and group intervention activities.

 

Primary school interventions for ages 4-11

  • Shine Interventions: Maths, driven by NTS Mathematics, New PUMA, or PUMA for Scotland results. Target all maths strands in the National Curriculum with over 200 potential intervention sequences.
  • Shine Interventions: Reading Skills, driven by NTS Reading, New PiRA, and PiRA for Scotland results. Target retrieval, inference and vocabulary with original fiction, non-fiction, and poetry texts. 
  • Shine Interventions: GPS, driven by New GaPS assessment results. Target grammar, punctuation, spelling, and vocabulary with fiction and non-fiction texts. 

 

Secondary school interventions for ages 10-16

  • Shine Interventions: Access Reading Tests (ART), designed to develop reading power and reading skills for learners who may not have achieved expected results when taking an Access Reading Test (ART). Each intervention (known as a Learning Sequence) contains an interactive teacher presentation, three worksheets (including texts and tasks) and an answer sheet.
  • Shine Interventions: Access Mathematics Tests (AMT), designed to develop essential maths skills for learners who may not have achieved expected results when taking an Access Mathematics Test (AMT). Each intervention (known as a Learning Sequence) contains an interactive teacher presentation, a printable worksheet (with a separate answer sheet), printable activities, an online quiz and teacher guidance notes.

Shine Interventions: AMT and ART subscriptions include Progress quizzes for you to administer post-intervention to check your learners' progress and retention. 

Shine Interventions: AMT also includes Strand tests. These are used pre-intervention to determine the specific Learning Sequences a learner needs intervention in based on their AMT test results (each strand contains several Learning Sequences).
