How Doodle structures learning
What teachers have to say about DoodleEnglish
“DoodleEnglish has really built the confidence of our lower ability children. For these children, they often feel the pace of class lessons are too fast and Doodle gives them a chance to consolidate and reinforce these skills.”
Chelsea
Teacher
“Doodle has made the setting of homework much easier. It is simple to relate the work to the lesson in class and to ensure that each child receives work which is appropriate to their level of understanding.”
Jackie
Headteacher
“The children love it and don’t realise they’re learning!”
Simon
Headteacher
“We use it during lesson time for extra fluency practice. We encourage short and regular practice throughout the week in school and also encourage children to practice at home.”
Ben
English Lead
“Doodle is used throughout the whole school. When children are not at school, they are given Extras on Doodle that match what the children are doing in the classroom.”
Liam
Teacher
DoodleEnglish FAQs
What is DoodleEnglish and what does it cover?
DoodleEnglish is a personalised literacy programme for KS1 and KS2 that covers spelling, punctuation and reading comprehension. Rather than teaching these skills in isolation, DoodleEnglish explores language in real-life contexts, helping pupils understand how literacy applies beyond the classroom.
DoodleEnglish is curriculum-aligned and adapts automatically to each child’s individual needs, so every pupil is always working at the right level.
How does DoodleEnglish support writing and literacy across the curriculum?
DoodleEnglish builds the foundational skills that underpin strong writing across all subjects (accurate spelling, secure punctuation, grammatical confidence and the ability to understand and infer meaning from text).
As pupil’s literacy skills improve through consistent daily practice, teachers typically see a positive knock-on effect in their written work across the curriculum, not just in English lessons.
Does DoodleEnglish help pupils prepare for KS2 SATs English?
Yes. DoodleEnglish covers the grammar, punctuation and spelling (GPS) and reading comprehension content which pupils are assessed on in KS2 SATs. The question styles reflect those used in the assessments, so pupils become familiar with the format as well as the content.
DoodleSpell is included in DoodleEnglish, and this also addresses the spelling lists and patterns that are tested in the KS2 spelling assessment.
Can DoodleEnglish be used for English intervention?
Yes. DoodleLearning programmes cover up KS1 and KS2, making DoodleEnglish a valuable tool for secondary schools running literacy intervention for Year 7-9 pupils, particularly those who arrive without secure KS2 literacy skills.
The adaptive algorithm means each pupil’s programme starts from their actual level, regardless of age, ensuring no child is patronised or left behind.
