ABOUT


UVU's Forum on Engaged Reading is about sharing the best in books, educational practices, and innovative ideas for changing lives. Teaching reading is paramount in the goals of education, but since fostering a love for reading is not a curricular objective, not tested by any state nor in any district plan, and not a component of any federal legislation, America faces a 21st Century tragedy of alliteracy. Join us as we make a difference — as we engage readers, "For the Love of Reading."

  • Help Readers Love Reading

    Veteran teacher Brian Wilhorn "has had his feet in the classroom" and "his nose in a book" for fifteen years. He says, "Once teachers ensure kids aren't illiterate, they need to ensure they aren't alliterate, and getting the best books into their hands is the biggest step." Be sure to read Brian's "soapbox" section!
