“It might just be that their classroom reading doesn’t reflect their own lived experiences – making it difficult to engage with the texts. But it can also foster a long-term learning disconnect that does little to help reduce existing academic achievement gaps.”

Creating ELA curriculum equity: The importance of culturally relevant books - Perspectives on Reading A conscious effort to increase representation in K-12 schools has never been more necessary, particularly in the wake of 2020’s months-long global protests in support of the Black Lives Matter movement.

Establishing a more equitable curriculum is not something that will happen overnight. But the results are well worth the time and effort, leading to a more comprehensive, inclusive learning experience that benefits all students.

☁ Sora Spotlight ☁

"I think reading is important, period! But having access to Sora allows students to choose from a diverse selection and adapt better to their own reading level. This has been very true for our high school students with low reading levels. They have access to books they can enjoy digitally (and privately) that would not normally be in a high school library. As well as access to higher level books for elementary students."

Happy Valentine’s Day!

We hope everyone falls in love with a story on Sora!
