A new literacy project designed to help children in London who are struggling with learning development has started.
The project aims to help youngsters aged between the ages of three and five.
More than two thousand families are expected to receive help from volunteers who will encourage them to use reading and games to boost their learning.
The scheme was launched yesterday by London Mayor Boris Johnson and singer Peter Andre.

London’s Mayor is today calling for people to donate cash to help boost the literacy levels of children in the capital.
Boris Johnson has launched a campaign called Flying Start for London.
It will focus on the seven poorest boroughs in the capital.
The Fund’s scheme aims to raise three million pounds by the autumn to improve literacy and numeracy in young people.
Some of the money will be used to set up after-school reading clubs.
