What Teachers Say About Doodle

Cheryl, SENCO
Hutton All Saint’s C of E Primary School

“[DoodleSpell] is used as part of a carousel of activities during guided reading, as homework, as way to practise weekly spellings sent home and for extra consolidation/extension at home and in school.”

Melanie, Headteacher
Coworth Flexlands Prep School

“It’s very handy as a maths teacher to be able to set an extra to check up on a specific skill, and as a parent, I like that I can set spellings that my daughter's school have set her as an extra on Doodle.”

Chelsea, Teacher
South Benfleet Primary School

“DoodleEnglish has really built the confidence of our lower ability children. Often they will learn something first on Doodle and then when taught in class they are confident to have already become familiar with a new concept.”

Jackie, Headteacher
Mapledene Primary School

“Our internal data suggests that the children who use Doodle regularly make greater progress in literacy and numeracy than their peers.”
