2022 Hawaii School Library Conference

While some readers increased their reading volume and interest during the global pandemic and isolation, others reported they didn't have the emotional or intellectual energy to read or have lost their joy in it. The demands of school and home responsibilities may consume their time. Others report that they’re too distracted and worried to read. Throughout our lives, readers encounter slumps in reading motivation and interest. How can readers find our way back to reading when we don't feel like reading much?

In this session, Donalyn Miller will share suggestions from hundreds of readers of all ages for navigating reading slumps during the pandemic and beyond. The session includes numerous book recommendations and resources.
