Watch reading grow in Sora
Sora’s reading data helps students and educators track progress over time
Why track reading data in Sora?
When it comes to measuring literacy, it’s essential to have accurate insights into your students’ reading engagement—insights you can’t always get with print. Sora’s features help you follow your students along their reading journeys, giving you the power to:
See reading stats in real-time
Identify trends
Make book purchasing decisions
Form intervention strategies
Dive deeper with the student dashboard
Just as Sora helps students keep tabs on their own reading progress, the student dashboard in OverDrive Marketplace gives educators advanced tools to view how students are interacting with books and progressing through assigned reading.
- Number of books opened
- Time read
- Number of reading sessions
- Number of active days
- Average time per session
- Average time per book
- Achievements earned
- Reading goals data, including milestones met and total reading goal days
