Britain's second most popular author, Jamie Oliver, has said his dyslexia can be an inspiration to kids who are struggling at school. 

 

In an interview with vlogger and CBBC star Nikki Lily, the world-famous chef said: "I did really badly at school with dyslexia, and to be honest I still struggle with it a bit today. I've had to learn little skills to get away with it. 

 

"I only read two narrative books and that was a struggle. But luckily I had cooking - and that saved me. "

One child never picked up a pen, was the last to bring home a reading book from school and sat and cried or walked out of the class room when asked to write down his weekend ' news' on a Monday morning at primary school. One managed well until she was 7 and had no problem with reading and actually enjoyed it so much she was quite a prolific reader.
