The Wisconsin Schools Digital Library Consortium (WSDLC) is a shared collection of over 60,000 ebooks, audiobooks, and magazines that are accessible through the Sora app. Sora is an online reading platform.

Any student can log into Sora using their student information and access thousands of digital books in the Wisconsin Schools Digital Library Consortium of schools collection. These books have been vetted by WI Media Specialists to ensure all of the titles meet the state’s standards for age appropriateness. Students can log in through Classlink and also may download the Sora app to any digital devices they use.

Parents who do not wish their student to have access to Sora’s electronic books or audiobooks can complete the library media center opt-out form. The form can also be used to keep students from checking out physical materials in the district’s media centers.

The District has developed policies and procedures for selecting materials for our school media centers (Policy 361.2 Rule). School media collections are developed to appeal to a wide range of diverse ages, interests, and tastes. Library collections are curated to meet the interests of all library users. The District supports the right of all users to decide what material is appropriate for themselves and their families.

871  Public Complaints about Instructional/Library Media Center Materials and Resources details the process for a parent/guardian to request that his/her child not use specific instructional/library media center materials or participate in certain instructional programs. Alternative assignments or programs shall be made available in such cases that meet the instructional learning objective, at the discretion of district staff.  See 871 Rule Procedures for Handling Public Complaints about Instructional/Library Media Center Materials outlining the process.

Reading Levels: 

Reading levels fall on a numeric scale that closely correspond with expected grade levels reading expectations. A second grader in the fourth month of the school year will, on average, be reading books at level 2.4.

Lexile: 

Lexile levels are determined by analyzing the complexity of a text, primarily focusing on word frequency and sentence length, using a proprietary algorithm developed by MetaMetrics

F & P: 

Books are grouped into the appropriate level based on the following considerations:

• Word repetition

• Sentence length

• Total word count

• Sentence complexity

• Number of different words

• Inclusion of supportive illustrations

• Amount of high-frequency (or most common) words

• Themes

This system classifies reading levels alphabetically from A to Z, with A corresponding to the earliest readers and Z falling in line with texts at or above an eighth grade level.
