Sora: Digital Library
Trevor Day School is committed to bringing unique learning opportunities to our students. We are, therefore, pleased to introduce a new, free reading service that provides digital books through Sora, the student reading app.
The collection of titles in Sora is an extension of the Middle and Upper School's physical library—the only difference is that it’s an app with 24/7 access to ebooks and audiobooks. It’s convenient for students to check out titles at home, on weekends, or during school breaks—with no worries about misplacing a book or accumulating late fees. These digital titles automatically return at the end of the lending period!
Sora can help students of all ages read more and improve comprehension. Struggling or reluctant readers and gifted readers can all benefit from this service.
Enrich vocabulary and improve comprehension and pronunciation
Introduce students to books above their reading level
Teach critical listening
Help busy kids find time to read
Incentivize reading with fun avatars and achievements
Allow easy access to a public library’s collection, too! (In the Sora menu select: +Add a public library.)
How does it work?
Download the free Sora app from the Apple App store, Google Play Store or visit soraapp.com. To read on a chromebook or other computer, go to: https://soraapp.com/library/trevordayny. Login and borrow books with your Trevor email address and password, and enjoy reading anytime, anywhere on a computer, tablet, or smartphone. The collection is small at this point, but I will be gradually expanding it to include more options. If there is a book that you'd like to read that you don't see, please let me know and I will try to get a copy. Whether a student’s interest lies in classics for required reading, or the latest popular juvenile or young adult fiction, they can find it all in Sora!
