About Sora
About Sora
Sora is the application that Fort River Library uses for ebooks and audiobooks. Sora is available on all devices. Fort River shares the books on Sora with libraries across Massachusetts through the Massachusetts' Library System (MLS) Commonwealth eBook Collection.
(You may have used Libby at a public library. It's the same thing!)
Guided Reading
Guided Reading
For students who benefit from audio, we can pair the physical book from our library shelves so they can read along while listening to the audio through Sora. This can support many students, including developing readers who need support accessing grade-level texts.
