Doodle is designed to be used for 10 minutes a day, or ‘little and often’, using Doodle in this way has been proven by the University of Bath to raise attainment and reduce learning loss.
Kate Bodle, Head of Learning Support: The company behind this programme is incredibly supportive and their knowledge of how to support children with difficulties means that ALL children can achieve with this method of learning to read.Jenny, SEN Support: The children love this programme. It is never hard to get reluctant children on the programme as they enjoy it so much and don't feel like they are doing 'work.' The sessions are fun, the children can work on them on their own and they can check and repeat if they do not get it right the first time. The support given by the makers of the programme has been absolutely excellent, and I would highly recommend it as a programme for struggling readers.Julie Peters, Year 1 Teacher/Maths Lead: Children enjoy using the program although there have been teething issues with some children becoming frustrated at not achieving. In the future we need to provide better guidance for parents when they first set up the accounts and make sure they know not to support their children in completing the baseline assessment.Helen Romain, Deputy Head, Year 6 and Maths Lead: Great support given through regular emails. Children love the termly challenges, has greatly decreased teacher workload and children thoroughly enjoy using itKarl Luckhurst, Head of School and Head of Maths: A simple system yet effective - children are engaged with it and enjoy using it. Only a 9 as games could be more KS2 friendly...7
