Recommended Usage

A recent study found that using Sumdog for 30 minutes a week, in-class or at home, almost doubled children's fluency progress.

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.
