Cindy Moyle, Library Supervisor for Secondary Schools, has put together some display posters featuring the latest Horror titles in Sora for junior and senior high schools. Scroll down to see them, and click on the images to download printable copies for display in your classroom or library. If scary stories aren’t your thing, try and share our quick tips on how to find books in your favorite genres in Sora.
Exploring Books by Genre or Subject
Browsing for books in your favorite genre or subject is simple in Sora.
To browse available books by subject:
- Open Sora or log in to https://soraapp.com (see our getting started instructions for more info)
- Click/tap on the Explore tab at the bottom of the screen
- Scroll/swipe down to the Popular Subjects section and click/tap on the subject or genre of your choice to see available books.
- Click/tap on Explore all subjects to see the full list of subjects and genres.
Exploring Books by Lexile, Grade, or Interest Level and finding ‘Read-Along’ Books
To find “Read-Along” books or to search by Lexile, Interest, or Grade Level in Sora:
- Click/Tap on Explore
- Click/Tap into the “Search for a book…” field
- Tap “Advanced Search”
- Scroll/swipe down and set any of the filters you would like to search by
- Click/Tap the Search button
(Please note: although this search and filtering by Lexile or other levels is functional, the Lexile and grade information for a specific book is not currently shown in Sora. We are told this information will be included in a future software update to Sora. This information can currently still be viewed by using the old OverDrive app and web site.)
