A SCHEME to improve literacy skills among nursery children has been launched.
The Talk Talk project is to run in four nurseries in the Hendon and East End areas of Sunderland.
The project provides each child with an activity bag containing a book, toy, song tape and activity sheet, which they take home and work through with their parents.
Project leader Leslie Stevens, from Sunderland City Council, said: "Like so many of our early years schemes, Talk Talk is about encouraging parents to work alongside their children, not only to help their child's development but also to demonstrate the importance of learning together."
