Problem
Children with dyslexia often struggle with phonological awareness and reading skills, requiring targeted interventions to improve reading speed and accuracy. Traditional methods can be time-consuming and may not always provide personalized support tailored to individual learning needs.
Solution

The platform adapts to each child's learning pace, providing customized activities that target specific areas of difficulty. By engaging children through gamified learning, Poppins aims to make reading intervention more accessible, enjoyable, and effective, complementing traditional therapies and educational support. The application also includes a parent platform to monitor progress and identify recurring challenges.
