Sora is a digital reading app designed specifically for schools, allowing students and educators to access eBooks, audiobooks, and other digital resources.

Here’s an overview of Sora’s main features and benefits:

1. Access to a Vast Library

Sora offers a wide range of reading materials, including fiction, non-fiction, textbooks, and audiobooks. Schools and districts can curate their own collections or provide access to a larger library of titles via public libraries integrated into the system.

2. User-Friendly Interface

The app is designed to be intuitive, making it easy for students of all ages to browse, borrow, and read books. With simple navigation and a clean interface, students can quickly find the resources they need.

3. Customization & Reading Tools

  • Bookmarks & Highlights: Users can mark their place in a book, highlight important passages, and take notes.

  • Adjustable Settings: Sora allows readers to adjust font size, background color, and other display settings to make reading more comfortable.

  • Dictionary & Translation: Built-in tools let students look up word definitions and translate text instantly, promoting comprehension.

4. Audiobook Support

Sora also supports audiobooks, allowing students to listen to books when reading might not be convenient. This feature is especially beneficial for students who learn better through listening or have reading difficulties.

5. Progress Tracking

Students and educators can track reading progress, including how many books have been read, how much time has been spent reading, and how far along a student is in a particular title.

6. Integration with Public Libraries

In many cases, students can connect their Sora account to a local public library to access even more titles. This expands the available collection and gives students more opportunities to explore reading.

7. Offline Access

Books can be downloaded for offline reading, allowing students to continue their reading even when they don’t have internet access.

8. Teacher Tools

Teachers can assign specific books, track student reading activity, and provide recommendations based on each student's reading level and interests.

9. Promoting a Love for Reading

Sora encourages a love for reading by offering digital rewards, badges, and a platform for students to discover books in a fun and engaging way.
