SONDO, a tool to get students back into reading

In 2025, MOBiDYS conducted a new impact assessment of its SONDO digital library among 70 subscribing teachers (librarians, language arts teachers, and teachers specializing in special education). Discover how SONDO acts as a lever to reconcile students with reading and support teachers in their teaching practices.

 

A highly acclaimed educational resource

 Among the teachers surveyed, 88% consider SONDO to be “valuable” or “essential” in their practice. For many, SONDO has established itself as a key resource for facilitating access to reading, restoring students’ confidence, and even reviving their enjoyment of reading:

“This year, SONDO really saved reading for me. Without it, they wouldn’t have read as many works.” Literature teacher

Concrete impacts on teaching practices

94% of teachers observe at least one positive impact on their teaching methods, particularly thanks to:

  • The diversification of reading activities
  • The facilitation of differentiated instruction
  • The discovery of new, suitable titles
  • A renewed enjoyment in leading reading sessions

 

The impact on students: a book format that helps students reconnect with reading

80% of teachers have noticed a positive change in their students’ attitude toward reading. SONDO enables a more fluid and inclusive approach: less apprehension about texts, more enjoyment and desire to read, more spontaneous reading, and greater involvement in classroom activities.

“I see the impact on all the students. It has enabled me to keep them all on the same page throughout the year.” Literature teacher

It should also be noted that 40% of teachers observe a positive impact on paper reading, proving that digital technology can be a springboard to reading in all its forms.

 

An inclusive solution for all students

SONDO has a particular impact on young readers (56% of teachers confirm this), students with learning disabilities (54%), non-native English speakers, and students who are at risk of dropping out. Adapting the tools allows teachers to align levels and include every student in the classroom dynamic.

“Some dyslexic students who hated reading discovered SONDO… Today, they say themselves that they love reading.” Literature teacher

 

What makes SONDO easy to adopt

Success factors identified by teachers:

  1. Involvement of the teaching team
  2. Willingness to welcome students with special educational needs
  3. Growing richness of the SONDO catalog
  4. Reading-related projects (literary prizes, challenges, etc.)

 

In summary

SONDO is not just a digital tool, it is a lever to restore the desire to read in all students, including those who are furthest removed from books.
