Sora - for Overdrive
Sora is a student focussed reading app that gives users a more interactive and engaging way of accessing and reading literature.
It helps you track your reading progress, and assists in recommending titles that you may want to read. You can also sync it to your Auckland Libraries Overdrive account, so you can borrow titles from their library as well as ours. Sora caters for all reading needs - and you can even use it to show your teacher how long you have been reading for. Sora is free for all James Cook High School students, and the app is available on Android and iOs devices, as well as laptops, PCs. Students will just need to login using their school username and password. Website link: https://soraapp.com/welcome |
