Utah Valley University is pleased to present the
For the Love of Reading Literacy Champion Award.
This award is given to distinguished literary professionals in the community that go above and beyond to instill a love of reading for children. The recipients of this prestigious award will be recognized at the For the Love of Reading Conference
at The Provo Marriott on September 29th, 2025.
The Literacy Champion—Teacher Award recognizes the herculean
tasks that teachers undertake to foster a love of reading in and improve the literacy skills of their students. The recipient of this award consistently develops a love of reading in their students through a combination of pedagogical skill, interpersonal
relationships, knowledge about age- and interest-appropriate literature, and a love for their students. These teachers inspire their students to achieve greater levels of learning and engagement when reading all types of texts. Furthermore, these teachers
help other teachers improve their own practice of creating classroom environments that foster a love of reading.
The Literacy Champion—Librarian Award recognizes the
vital role that librarians play in the literate and intellectual lives of the community they serve, including students, teachers, and schools. Recipients of this award are innovative in how they reach out to their communities, consistent in their efforts to
spread a love of reading and learning to those they serve, regardless of level or venue (school or public library) and committed to literacy and their communities.
The Literacy Champion—Legacy Award
recognizes those who have made and are still making significant contributions to the literacy of students. These efforts may include, but are not limited to, working directly with students,
helping and leading teachers to become more effective and passionate literacy teachers, and/or advocating with the community on behalf of schools, teachers, and students over many years. Recipients of this award are both an inspiration and a resource for all
parties interested in students’ literacy and love of reading.
The decision to award this recognition will be based on the quality of nominated individuals and so may not be awarded annually.

-
