Sora Reading
To continue to promote a love of reading and to support children with continuing to read a wide range of texts, Hook Junior School are pleased to announce the implementation of a new e-Book Platform – Sora.
Sora is a library lending system designed to make the borrowing and reading of eBooks simple and enjoyable. The system enables children to download and read extra titles free of charge, this is in addition to the current school library which is available to all of our children.
As with any online activity we advise that you use this with your child. Restrictions have been put in place to try and prevent the downloading of titles that may be better suited for older readers. Your child will be receiving their logon details from their teacher and an explanation of how to log is below.
Books available through Sora can be used in the same way as school or class library books, however they will not replace book band books. If your child is also on a book band book, we encourage this to be the priority, with Sora books as an additional choice of text. Please continue to record your childs reading in reading records, whether this is a physical book or online text.
