 Impact

Fred is 6, dyslexic and hates writing - that was until his teacher discovered Pobble! Inspired by the idea of having his work published on Pobble he put pen to paper and his incredible piece of work was viewed over 4000 times. After winning the Pobble winter writing competition, Fred's Dad commented on Fred's work, saying he was the proudest Dad on planet earth tonight and thanking Pobble for playing our part in giving him back his confident boy.
