What is Pobble?

As teachers ourselves, we know that children struggle to put pen to paper so we strive to change the way they feel about writing. We create exciting content that makes it easier for teachers to engage and motivate even their most reluctant young writers, every day!

Plus, our online moderation tool allows teachers to be confident in their assessment judgements.

Pobble empowers teachers to:

· Teach daily short burst writing activities that motivate children to write more.
· Easily build a daily writing routine with a new writing prompt for every day of the year.
· Provide endless writing opportunities to help improve writing stamina.
· Reduce the workload required to plan engaging writing lessons.
· Improve the accuracy of their writing assessments.· Easily create online moderation files, save them as evidence and share them with others.
· Gain a clear understanding of what good writing looks like.

Why Pobble?

Our content is:

Unique and high-quality - We pride ourselves on making powerful resources that spark imagination and creativity and allow teachers to write with their class every day. By partnering with incredible artists and
photographers whose distinctive images complement our writing prompts, we create captivating content. Children are engaged and excited by our unique content and respond by producing page-popping writing!

Made by teachers - We're a team of like-minded educators who want to make a difference in the lives of teachers and children. Our experience and drive mean we know exactly what teachers need to teach writing effectively and what children need to feel truly inspired. Over the past 10 years, we’ve worked alongside hundreds of thousands of teachers to understand the primary writing process and develop our content and tools.

Diverse and accessible - Pobble began in the classroom of an Enhanced Mainstream and Minority Ethnic Achievement Hub School, it’s where our heart is and why we care so much about impacting every single learner. After working with a diverse base of teachers and schools from around the world with a wide variety of needs and circumstances, we were awarded a grant from the Department for Education to make our tools even more accessible for learners with additional needs. This has allowed us to develop our platform and content to be engaging and accessible for every learner, including those previously reluctant to write.

Are we any good?

When it comes to teaching writing, we're respected, trusted and proven to work...

Pobble has grown to be a multi-award-winning platform that supports and inspires young writers. Pobble was also selected as one of just 8 organisations funded, independently evaluated and supported by the UK Department for Education as a recipient of the government’s Edtech Innovation Fund. Additionally, research undertaken with UCL’s Institute of Education as part of their Educate programme shows that Pobble reduces teacher lesson planning time by 39%, whilst improving pupils' speed, confidence, and enjoyment of writing, leading to improved attainment. The best validation for us, however, is that teachers frequently tell us that they LOVE the impact Pobble has on writing in their schools. Pobble is trusted by a community of over a million teachers and students in 50 countries around the world!
