Discovery Education Supports Pupils with Dyslexia Through Adaptive, Multisensory Learning Resources
Discovery Education, the creator of essential learning solutions used in classrooms around the world, has made available a collection of tools and features within its high-quality digital resources to support pupils during Dyslexia Awareness Week and beyond.
Available via Discovery Education’s four award-winning DoodleLearning maths and English programmes – DoodleEnglish, DoodleSpell, DoodleMaths and DoodleTables – these special features and tools engage and empower pupils with dyslexia, whether learning at home or in the classroom.
Dyslexia Awareness Week – which begins on 6th October – is an annual event organised by the British Dyslexia Association. This year’s theme, ‘Dyslexia: Raising the Volume’, aims to increase public understanding and shine a light on issues affecting people with dyslexia.
Discovery Education’s DoodleLearning programmes incorporate a range of features that are highly supportive for pupils. These include:
- Multi-Sensory Learning
The DoodleLearning apps combine visual, audio and interactive elements to explore topics in Maths and English
- Scaffolded Content
Lessons are broken down into small manageable steps, reducing cognitive overload and removing barriers to learning for pupils who struggle with processing speed
- Read-Aloud Functionality
DoodleLearning has a built-in audio dictation tool, to enable pupils to listen to questions and concept explanations and learn at their own pace
- Focus on Spelling Patterns & Strategies
DoodleSpell supports spelling through repetition and structured learning, which is beneficial for pupils with dyslexia
- Adaptive Learning Technology
Doodle’s programmes personalise content based on ability, ensuring that each child is working at the right level. This helps pupils to build confidence without feeling overwhelmed
- Positive Reinforcement & Motivation
Rewarding effort over ability, Doodle uses stars, badges, streaks and games to motivate pupils and make learning fun
