Sites for Education, Fun, and Reading

Take a look on Clever!

Through Clever, Students should have button for Sora. It looks like the picture to the left. They can digitally borrow eBooks and audio books through this link. Diary of a Wimpy Kid and The Bad Seed seem to be popular right now. The books are approximately grade level. If students have not been to the site yet, they click the Sora button. Then they will be asked to pick their school which is Portales. After that, it will ask for log in, and they pick Portales Schools again. There are some familiar books there and some new ones. There are even books in Spanish. Enjoy!!


A book that can be borrowed through Sora.

This book can be borrowed from Sora and we even have it new in our library.

I know this is a favorite. You can borrow it to read from Sora.

This is a new book in our library. Since we don't get to visit in the library, you can find this book on Sora.
