What educators are saying about Sora

My students *love* days when they have time to log into Sora and explore books. My sense is that Sora has helped some kids to rediscover that books are cool, and that it has boosted both digital and physical circulations.


Becky Sniffen

Librarian, Pioneer Valley Chinese Immersion Charter School (MA)

Sora allows us to deliver a fully digital English curriculum on iPads that prioritizes student choice and diverse authorship. It is important that our students have literary experiences that are both windows into the world and mirrors in which they see themselves.


Michael Fumagalli

Assistant Director of Teaching and Learning, Glenbard High School District 87 (IL)

I love the ease of access to the books, and the wide range of ebooks, audiobooks and magazines available to our students. I also appreciate that our English Language Learners can access many books in their first languages.
