The 2024 Ivy Tech Prize for France’s young entrepreneur of the year was awarded to François Vonthron, CEO and co-founder of Poppins, a groundbreaking app designed to help children with dyslexia. With approximately 1.3 million children in France struggling with dyslexia, Vonthron saw a need for a tool that could assist these individuals in improving their reading skills.
Poppins takes a unique approach to tackling dyslexia by utilizing a video game format to engage users. An independent study has shown that children using the app experienced significant progress in both reading precision and speed. The innovative features of Poppins set it apart from traditional methods of addressing dyslexia, providing a fun and interactive way for children to practice and improve their reading skills.
In an interview with FRANCE 24’s Charles Pellegrin, Vonthron discusses the origins and key features of the app. By focusing on accessibility and user engagement, Poppins has the potential to make a meaningful impact on the lives of children with dyslexia in France and beyond.
