Make the most of your school’s budget with digital Class Sets

When you hear the phrase “class set”, it probably drudges up some interesting sensory memories. You might think of battered copies of classic books, with broken spines and bent pages – or you might remember the panic you felt upon realizing you’d forgotten your copy of whatever the assigned class read was in your locker or at home. 

Whatever you think of when you consider a conventional class set, it probably has nothing to do with a phone, or a Chromebook – or really any kind of device. 

But for educators seeking new strategies to affordably provide students access to curriculum titles, that’s exactly what digital Class Sets provide: flexible, 24/7 access to all the required reading your students need – no matter where they are, or which device they’re using – through the Sora student reading app. 

Class Sets are short-term ebook rentals that let you assign or provide a title on-demand to as many students as needed, with no minimum or maximum limit. They’re perfect for your next required or choice classroom read, book club or all-class or all-school read. 

Why choose digital Class Sets through Sora?
