About The Conference
To Our For the Love of Reading Family,
This year has brought a host of challenges and opportunities to how we continue to educate the next generation. We are proud of everyone in the field of education who has risen to show love and care for children across the nation and the world during this unprecedented time. Thank you!
As the world adapts to current circumstances, we have also had to adapt to the way
that we engage with our For the Love of Reading family.
We are excited to announce that this year's For the Love of Reading conference will
not be cancelled but will be provided as a digital event.
Although we will miss being with you in person, our digital conference will bring
together readers from across the country and throughout
the world. Our plan is to return to our in-person conference at the Zermatt Resort
in the fall of 2021.
We are planning for the digital event to be a mix of live and shareable recorded content where we can continue to engage with you and other attendees. Exciting features will also include giveaways, reading resources, the Best Books of 2020, and much more.
We are also excited to announce that the conference this year will be FREE to all attendees.
Please share this event with others who would like to attend. They can sign up for conference updates here.
More details and registration information will come soon. We look forward to connecting with you virtually.
Stay safe, fellow readers,

Why Should I Attend?
UVU's Forum on Engaged Reading gives educators, professionals, parents and leaders
the opportunity to learn from local, state, and national experts who are award-winning authors and illustrators and who are leaders in literacy education and reading motivation. These experts join us to inspire
individuals
to foster a greater love for reading and learning.
People who attend the conference leave with motivation and inspiration to immediately
apply innovative ideas and strategies that will open a world of determination, imagination
and endless possibilities in the literacy lives of
young people.

MAKE A LIFE-CHANGING DIFFERENCE…
READ A DIFFERENCE!
For the Love of Reading Conference empowers participants to engage and motivate students as life-long readers. While concerned educators and legislators continue filling the gaps in essential literacy skills and resources, we are continually challenged by young readers who have not learned to love reading, and who, without your inspiration, may never hold a book to their hearts and say, “I have to find another book like this one!”
It takes as little as $250 to sponsor a dynamic presenter with answers and ideas we can take home with us and turn on one, or a whole room full of young readers.
Your donation today means new programs, new presenters, new first-time attendees, and new inspiration for all of us who want to make a difference in children’s reading lives. Will you or someone you know consider sponsoring a scholarship, a speaker, or a special event at our next conference?
