What is Sora?

 

Why Sora?
The collection of titles in Sora is an extension of Princeton Day School's physical library, only it’s in an app with 24/7 access to ebooks and audiobooks. It’s convenient for students to check out titles at home, on the weekends or during school breaks with no worry about misplacing a book or running up 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, learning-challenged, second language learners, 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 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 story, Google Play Store or visit soraapp.com, sign in with PDS credentials , and enjoy anytime, anywhere on a computer, tablet, or smartphone.

Whether a student’s interest lies in classics for required reading, or the latest popular fiction, they can find it all in Sora!
