Pop singer turned TV star Peter Andre is joining the ranks of the champions of children's literacy by fronting the launch of a new London scheme.
Andre joins London's mayor Boris Johnson at the Botwell Green library and leisure centre in Hayes this morning (14th June) to launch a literacy project aimed at helping young children aged three to five years who are struggling with their learning development.
Families on the scheme will receive support from "literacy champions" who will encourage them to use reading, phonics and games to boost the children's learning and help to prepare them for school.
The scheme is a part of "Team London"—the mayor's volunteering action plan—and is run by the National Literacy Trust.
