Read like a Demon

Printer-friendly version

Casey-Cardinia Library Corporation is pleased and proud to have entered into a partnership with the Melbourne Football Club on a literacy program for selected Year 4 and 5 students in the City of Casey.

The partnership involves 9 schools from the region, each having selected ten students who have struggled with reading, to participate in the main program. 

The program was launched at a special event at Casey Fields - the City of Casey facilities, where Melbourne Football Club have established a new training ground. The event featured Stefan Martin and Lynden Dunn, (Melbourne footballers), Chris Connelly (General Manager, Football Operations) and Felice Arena - author of the Specky Magee series. Stefan is a local lad, having grown up and gone to school in Berwick and is the Ambassador for the Read like a Demon program.

In conjunction with the program, the library has also launched a new blog - Read like a Demon. Here kids will find reviews on kids books, read posts from our Ambassador - Stefan, be able to submit and then read their own reviews, leave comments and find other great reading recommendations.

So if your kids like reading, why not get them onto the Read like a Demon blog, find some more great read recommended by others, leave a comment or two and get them submitting their own reviews.  We'd love to hear what they think.
