We’re thrilled to announce that the Sora student reading app has earned another accolade! In August, Sora was honored as part of Tech & Learning’s new Awards of Excellence program, “The Best Tools for Back to School.”

Award recipients were divided by grade level and included educational hardware, software, curriculum and more designed to help support schools in any learning environment. Sora was recognized in the “Primary (K-6)” category.

“Our judges chose the winning products recognized here for their versatility, compatibility, value, and ability to help schools solve challenges and support continuous instruction,” said Tech & Learning Group Publisher Christine Weiser in a news release.

This is the third recognition of its kind for Sora in 2021.

Over 50,000 schools worldwide have access to Sora, which is backed by OverDrive Education’s industry-leading catalog of millions of titles from thousands of publishers.
