Sora

Sora is a reading app that enables students and teachers to use the digital collection at Kent District Library. If your school is an OverDrive partner, use Sora to access the school’s digital collection and connect with the KDL digital collection. Schools can choose which ebooks, audiobooks and read-alongs to offer to students.

The app is available on smartphones, tablets and desktops, enabling K-12 students to read for pleasure and as part of class lesson plans. It offers interactive and customizable features such as bookmarks, definitions, exportable notes and synced progress with achievement badges.

Teachers can conveniently incorporate Sora in lesson plans, adapting it for different classrooms and individual students. Sora is a powerful resource, helping teachers better understand student reading levels and progress.
