We're thrilled to announce our DoodleEnglish refresh!
Our team has been hard at work levelling up the DoodleEnglish app to have a greater focus on consolidation and boosting mastery in English.
What can you expect to see in the updated DoodleEnglish?
📚 New grammar & punctuation concepts from Year 1 to Year 6
We've doubled the number of concepts available to children across KS1 and KS2! Adding additional concepts into each Age Related Expectation (ARE) topic gives them plenty of opportunities to master content across the English National Curriculum.
💻 NEW interactivity
We know children learn best by 'doing'. They'll find brand-new interactions through DoodleEnglish, like joining prefixes and suffixes and multiple-choice tables to aid consolidation through practical application and make the programme even more fun!
💬 NEW glossary
We've created an interactive glossary within DoodleEnglish! Children can simply click on a word with a yellow dotted line underneath it to reveal a short definition that uses age-appropriate vocabulary.
🗣️ Enhanced text-to-speech (TTS) functionality
To help make DoodleEnglish even more accessible to users, we've improved our TTS functionality within DoodleEnglish so that children have more options to have the lessons and questions read out to them.
What do I need to do to access the new content?
From 1st May UPDATE your DoodleEnglish app to version 3.6.0. Do this on ALL devices your child Doodles on to avoid any disruption to their learning.
If you use the browser version of DoodleEnglish on a PC/laptop then no need to do anything with the updates - it will happen automatically. You just need to set the baseline as in point 2.
💡 We recommend setting automatic updates on your devices so that you'll always stay up to date with our latest app versions. To find out how to do this please see here.
Between 21st May - 1st June set a NEW baseline assessment in DoodleEnglish. Children should complete a new DoodleEnglish baseline assessment to help place them in the programme. They'll also be able to access DoodleEnglish's brand-new content as soon as they're done!
Any children who haven't been set a baseline assessment by June 2nd will automatically be put into a baseline assessment - they must complete this to access DoodleEnglish's new features!
To set a new baseline assessment please follow these steps. If your child has a subscription through their school their teacher will set the baseline assessment for them (you won't be able to do this via your Parent Dashboard).
