Dyslexia is a specific learning difficulty that primarily affects the skills involved in accurate and fluent word reading and spelling. It can present daily barriers in education, therefore identification and intervention can help children with confidence and self-esteem.
Our apps have been designed to support children with dyslexia, our different exercises do this is a variety of ways.
1. Structured and Sequential Learning
Our “New This Week” and "Assignment" exercises are broken down into small, manageable steps. Each lesson follows a consistent format, helping children build on what they already know and feel comfortable with the routine.
Why this helps:
Learning follows a logical order
Small steps fill in gaps and prevent new ones
Predictability builds confidence and reduces anxiety
2. Cumulative Learning
We make sure new learning builds on what’s already been taught. Lessons gently progress in difficulty, and we remind children of previous learning to help them connect ideas.
Why this helps:
Strengthens memory by linking ideas
Boosts confidence through familiarity
Reduces mental overload
3. Multi-Sensory Learning
Our apps encourage children to use more than one sense at a time. This includes:
Audio: Questions and text are read aloud
Visuals: Images and diagrams support understanding
DoodlePad: Children can write, draw, and work out answers on screen
Interactive elements: Tap, swipe, and move items to engage with questions
Why this helps:
4. Overlearning Through Practice
We reinforce learning by repeating key concepts in different ways. Children see similar questions with slight variations to help deepen understanding.
Why this helps:
Strengthens memory
Builds automatic recall
Helps apply knowledge in new situations
5. Encouraging Metacognition
Metacognition means understanding how we learn. Our apps support this by:
Asking children how confident they feel with exercises
Using characters to model thinking and learning strategies
Why this helps:
Helps children feel more in control of their learning
Encourages reflection and self-awareness
Builds self-esteem
6. Phonics-Based Spelling Support (DoodleSpell)
DoodleSpell uses phonics to help children improve spelling and reading. It includes:
Multi-sensory activities (visual, auditory, kinaesthetic)
Sound-symbol matching
Spelling words with phonics units
Teaching strategies like segmenting, rhyming, and pattern spotting
Why this helps:
Targets core challenges in dyslexia
Improves reading fluency and confidence
Supports spelling, reading, and writing skills
