THE Melbourne Football Club’s passion about children achieving success in reading, spelling and writing continued with the Read Like a Demon pre-school program delivered in term four to 14 kindergartens. 

More than 800 children participated in the program, which focused on giving children the skills they need to read, spell and write with confidence. 

The Club joined forces with Little Learners Love Literacy® to deliver an interactive comprehensive pre-school program based around Milo the Monkey. 

Thirty three sessions were delivered to kindergartens in the City of Casey, with positive outcomes. 

Jenni Hunt from Carlisle Park Kindergarten said: “The kids really enjoyed Sarah’s visit, the activities were great and the children were delighted to receive their certificates, which now forms part of their portfolios.”

“The children have been looking through their portfolios and talking about Milo the Monkey and the letter “M” .

“The staff felt it was a really beneficial program. We would love to do it again next year.”
