Rise and Shine’s unique five-stage methodology supports learners in understanding exactly how far they have come and where they are heading on their learning journey, signposted by coloured stepping stones.

- Wonder: activities that spark interest, draw on prior knowledge and set out the quest for the unit

- Imagine: imaginative stories and activities that encourage cognitive engagement

- Build: meaningful language input and practice, providing direction and support, with a strong focus on building communication skills and confidence

- Grow: real-world content that opens learners’ eyes through a global citizenship objective and provides opportunities to relate language back to their own lives

- Shine: a final unit project broken down into differentiated steps to allow every learner to showcase their achievements
