Did you know that Duolingo, the globally popular language learning App, has recently launched a Maths course for children?

Duolingo works beautifully to maintain attention when learning, with its short, colourful lessons and all sort of encouragements and rewards for small steps to success. Great for students with processing difficulties who need lots of repetition and something very engaging to help them learn.

Being able to practice maths daily for 5 or 10 minutes in this way could be a perfect way to encourage children on the path to success. It is easy to jump initial lessons and start where existing knowledge tails off, but don‘t go too far ahead, as opportunities for success are just what our learners with SpLDs need to boost their confidence.
