What is sora?
Sora is a digital reading app that empowers pupils to discover age-appropriate ebooks, audiobooks, magazines and more from their school library. It works like a traditional library, where titles are borrowed, put on hold etc. The Sora app is available to download on the play store or app store, or alternatively, the web version is available on any device.
Whilst we know physical books still absolutely have a pace in our classrooms, there are also many benefits of Digital Books:
Portability and Convenience: Carry an entire library on a single device (e-reader, tablet, or smartphone), making reading possible anywhere, anytime.
Instant Access: Download new books in seconds
Cost-Effective: Digital books are often cheaper than their print counterparts, and many free classics and public domain titles are available.
Customisable Reading Experience: Adjust font size, style, and screen brightness for optimal reading comfort and needs. Sora offers features like text-to-speech, built-in dictionaries and note taking capabilities.
Searchability: Easily find specific passages, quotes, or information within a digital book using the search function.
Eco-Friendly: Reduce paper consumption and carbon footprint associated with printing and shipping physical books.
