CASE STUDY
How One School Expanded Reading Access
Queensbridge School in South Birmingham set out to improve reading access for all students, including many with special education needs and limited access to books at home.
By pairing its physical library with Sora, the school created more opportunities for students to read what they want and when they want.
A digital library that meets every student where they are
Students access ebooks, audiobooks and magazines in Sora and Secondary EbooksNOW on any device and browse by interest, format or subject. Graphic novels and magazines help engage reluctant readers.
Teachers use Sora for:
- Lesson extracts
- Staff training
- Whole school literacy initiatives
- DEAR time
- A Sora book club
- BookTok themed displays that highlight trending titles
