We now have a Beano subscription in the library which means that we will receive a new Beano comic every week. The Beano also has a great website that is well worth exploring. See the link below.Using SORA is a great way to keep up with your reading outside of school. You can read ebooks. You can listen to an audio book. There are hundreds of magazines on there too.
If you haven't used SORA at home before, there is some information below to get you started.
Step 1: Install the Sora app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, or go to soraapp.com.
Step 2: In Sora, find Swiss Group of International Schools, then sign in with the ICSZ Google account
Step 3: Browse the Explore tab and borrow a book. Your book will open so you can start reading right away.
Step 4: Close the book and go to Shelf to see all your books (including assignments). From there, you can:
Select Open Book or Open Audiobook to read or listen to the book.
Select Options to renew or return the book, see your notes and highlights, and more.

Callie is very proud of her brother Charlie. He's good at so many things - swimming, playing the piano, running fast. And Charlie has a special way with animals, especially their dog, Harriett. But sometimes Charlie gets very quiet. His words get locked inside him, and he seems far away. Then, when Callie and Charlie start to play, Charlie is back to laughing, holding hands, having fun. Charlie is like any other boy - except he has autism.
