Sir Richard Branson features in inspirational children’s stories.

Richard Branson talks exclusively about his struggles with dyslexia to inspire children, parents and teachers.

In the first series of downloadable mp3 audio stories available exclusively from our shop, Sir Richard Branson talks candidly about his struggles at school and how his own dyslexia has helped him to succeed.

“One of the positive things about being dyslexic is that we look at things differently. We simplify things, we can see things more clearly. This is what’s helped me in business”, says Sir Richard Branson.

Award winning campaigner, Kate Griggs of Xtraordinary People, is the inspiration behind these enlightening stories.

Dyslexic herself with two dyslexic children, Kate says: “the stories are funny and entertaining as well as informative, written from a dyslexic child’s perspective to give a real insight into being a dyslexic child. I I want to inspire dyslexic children, their parents and their teachers by drawing on the positive achievements of famous dyslexics like Sir Richard, Thomas Edison and Sir Winston Churchill. ”
