Reading had always been a struggle for Cormac Deignan, but his story turned a page when he discovered Roald Dahl books.
Cormac, 10, from Co Meath, was diagnosed with dyslexia when he was in first class and his mum Della said he "hated school at that time".
But when he began to read Roald Dahl books with her, Della saw a huge change in her son and also noticed a boost to his confidence.
Della said: "He doesn't love school now, but it’s much easier for him." She added that he is "much more able for the curriculum" now that he is in Fourth Class.
She attributes Cormac's progress at school to his time spent reading in his free time. She said: "It took us a long time and a lot of energy, but it was definitely worth it."
Drawing on the positive influence Roald Dahl’s books have had on Cormac, the Deignan family's agri-tourism business, Causey Farm, has now created a series of themed art installations in a willow forest on their land.
Each installation is inspired by a different Roald Dahl book.
Della hopes that visitors to their farm will be inspired to read more as they explore the different exhibits.
She added: "Our wish is that if even five children came here and were motivated to practice reading every day, that would be a dream come true."
For Cormac, seeing some of his favourite stories brought to life has already been a dream come true.
