To support your child's learning or revise tricky topics, children, parents and educators can add extra work in topics they'd like to practice a bit more. These are known as an Assignments.

  1. Log in to Doodle

  2. From the Learning Zone, press the red Add Assignment icon

  3. Type in a topic and follow the in-app instructions; the Assignment will then appear in the Learning Zone

Please note:

  1. Only one Assignment can be set through the app per day (if you would like to add more, please do so via the Families Dashboard by following the steps below)

  2. It will only be possible to add an Assignment in this way if no other Assignment is currently set for the child.
