The £1m two-year project will see the National Literacy Trust work with 12 local authorities to develop new approaches to supporting early language and literacy.
The trust will provide training sessions to local services, including health visitors, social workers and community groups, so they can spot children aged two to five who are behind in literacy.
Families will then be encouraged to attend their local children’s centre where they will be able to receive support and choose books to keep.
The trust will also train volunteers in each of the areas to work with families and increase parents’ confidence in supporting their children’s language development.
