Worldwide edtech leader Discovery Education launched a new digital learning challenge designed to motivate children over the holidays and prevent summer learning loss.

The DoodleLearning Summer Challenge encourages children to practise maths and English for just a few minutes each day, using the award-winning DoodleMaths and DoodleEnglish apps. Part of the Discovery Education family of services, the innovative DoodleLearning apps transform learning into a fun adventure, rewarding children’s progress and building their confidence.

To keep children learning beyond the classroom this summer, Discovery Education is giving teachers free access to DoodleMaths and DoodleEnglish from now until the start of September. Schools can sign up at doodlelearning.com/prevent-learning-loss

Parents can also register for 2 weeks’ free access by visiting doodlelearning.com/challenge-free-access and entering the code: SUMMER_2_WKS

The DoodleLearning Summer Challenge gives children a personalised programme to plug gaps and get them ready for September. Making summer learning fun, the challenge is jungle-themed, and every child who completes it will receive a special jungle pin badge and certificate.

One of the schools taking part is Lainesmead Primary School in Swindon. Teacher Nicole Deacon-Willis said:

“The Doodle Challenge provides children with the opportunity to rehearse and revisit key learning skills from the comfort of their home. We love Doodle for its child-friendly setup. When used for short bursts every day, it’s a fantastic to boost confidence in maths and times tables, as well as English and spelling.”

Howard Lewis, Discovery Education’s UK and International Managing Director, said:

“We’re delighted to give schools and parents free access to our award-winning Doodle apps as part of our Summer Challenge.  Doodle is proven to boost attainment when used for just 10 minutes a day, making it the perfect holiday learning tool.”

The DoodleLearning Summer Challenge follows the 2023 Spring Challenge, which was entered by over 16,000 pupils from 600 UK primary schools – its most successful year yet.

Designed to be used for 10 minutes a day, Discovery Education’s DoodleMaths and DoodleEnglish use the latest advances in learning and motivational psychology to raise attainment and boost confidence in maths and English. 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.
