Course description
Print books are the preferred reading medium, but they aren’t the only way to enjoy reading, books and storytelling.
Sora’s eBooks, audiobooks and digital magazines provide staff and students with a rich reading opportunity in the classroom and at home. The focus is recreational reading, classroom resources and PL books for DECYP school staff.
