London Literacy Champions
Nearly a third of all London children struggle with literacy at age 11. Children’s life
chances are set well before they start school which is why it is so important to support children’s literacy as early as possible. Parents and carers play a major part in their children’s learning development, but many are unaware of this or want more support.
The London Literacy Champions project trains volunteers to work with parents and carers to increase their ability to support their children’s reading and communication skills. The project is delivered by the National Literacy Trust, in partnership with local authorities, and is part of the Team London programme, funded by the Mayor of London and the Reuben Foundation.
