Exploring the Benefits of SORA at Woodsville High School

At Woodsville High School, we strive to provide our students with the best resources to enhance their learning experience. One such resource that has become an essential part of our library and learning culture is SORA, a digital library and reading app that offers students access to a world of ebooks and audiobooks right at their fingertips.

What is SORA?

SORA is an online reading platform designed for students. It makes it easy to access a vast range of digital books, audiobooks, and other resources from any device—a smartphone, tablet, or computer. With SORA, students can borrow books just like they would from the school library, but with the convenience of digital access, 24/7. This means that no matter where our students are—whether at school, at home, or on the go—they can continue learning, reading, and exploring new worlds through literature.

Why Use SORA?

  1. A Library in Your Pocket
    SORA offers students access to thousands of titles, from classic literature to the latest bestsellers and even popular magazines. This expansive digital library ensures students can access various reading materials that match their interests, reading levels, and academic needs. With just a few taps, they can borrow books, place holds, and create reading lists—all from the comfort of their own devices.
  2. Personalized Reading Experience
    SORA allows students to customize their reading experience to suit their individual preferences. They can adjust text size, choose background colors, and use the built-in dictionary feature to look up words. The app’s dyslexic font and audiobook options make it a valuable tool for students with varying reading needs and preferences.
  3. Enhanced Learning Opportunities
    With the ability to borrow books for class assignments or independent reading, students can deepen their understanding of course material and explore new subjects. Teachers can even curate reading lists and recommend titles, making SORA an excellent tool for reinforcing lessons and encouraging students to expand their knowledge outside the classroom.
  4. Supports Student Engagement
    The digital nature of SORA appeals to today’s tech-savvy students. The app’s interactive features, like earning badges for reading achievements, make reading fun and engaging. SORA motivates students to read more and helps them develop a lifelong love for reading.
  5. No Late Fees or Lost Books
    One of the most significant advantages of using SORA is that there are no worries about overdue books or lost items. The digital borrowing system automatically returns books at the end of the loan period, making it easy for students to manage their checkouts without the risk of incurring late fees.
