Tens of Thousands of Pupils Take Part in Discovery Education’s Nationwide DoodleLearning Challenge

A popular digital learning challenge is celebrating its most successful year yet, after tens of thousands of children across the UK took part during the Easter school holidays.      

Discovery Education’s DoodleLearning Spring Challenge helps keep children motivated by encouraging them to practise maths and English for just a few minutes each day, using Doodle’s innovative learning programmes. Part of the Discovery Education family of services, the DoodleMaths and DoodleEnglish apps are designed to be used little and often, both at home and in the classroom – making them ideal for school holiday learning.

Pupils from over 600 UK primary schools took part in this year’s challenge by using DoodleMaths and DoodleEnglish throughout the month of April. Children who completed the challenge will be rewarded with special certificates and badges that will be presented by their teachers in school.

Charity Lisko, Discovery Education’s Vice President for International Product, Curriculum and Content said:

“Congratulations to all pupils who invested their time to extend learning beyond the classroom by taking part in this year’s DoodleLearning Spring Challenge. We’re thrilled that this year’s Challenge was our most successful yet.”

Designed to be used for just 10 minutes a day, Discovery Education’s DoodleMaths and Doodle English programmesuse the latest advances in learning and motivational psychology to raise attainment and boost confidence. Giving children a personalised learning programme tailored to their needs, the apps are proven to boost confidence and ability. Filled with thousands of interactive exercises, they explore numeracy and literacy in a fun, approachable way, giving children core skills they can use in the classroom and beyond.

Discovery Education’s DoodleLearning programmes have been shown to significantly enhance academic progression and have been used by over one million children in the U.K. and around the world.
