Let the reading games begin: Sora’s new Reading Challenges are here!

Looking for a fresh way to ignite a love of reading in your classroom or library this school year? Say hello to Reading Challenges in Sora, a brand-new feature designed to turn everyday reading into a fun, motivating adventure for students and educators alike.

Whether you’re a teacher hoping to build stronger reading habits or a librarian looking to rally your school around your literacy initiatives, Reading Challenges are a flexible, engaging way to make reading exciting for everyone.

What are Sora’s Reading Challenges?

Sora’s Reading Challenges let you create custom competitions that encourage students to read more and reach their goals. Here’s what you can do:

  • Set time-based goals: Compete to read the most minutes or hit a set reading goal for the most days.
  • Earn exclusive badges: Design and unlock custom badges that celebrate progress and achievement.
  • Share challenges easily: Invite others with a link, QR code or challenge code.
  • Track progress in real time: Watch the leaderboard update as students read and grow.

Whether you’re organizing a friendly contest between a few students or launching a school-wide reading rally, Reading Challenges make it easy to get everyone involved and excited.

Why it works

Reading Challenges tap into the power of gamification to build positive reading habits. They’re simple to set up, fun to participate in and offer just the right mix of competition and collaboration to keep students engaged.

Plus, they’re a great way to foster community, whether it’s within your classroom, across grade levels or even among staff!
