If your kid's school uses Sora, it's one of the few 'mandatory' apps that's actually worth the screen time. It's a clean, functional portal to literacy that respects the fact that audiobooks are real reading. By separating the decoding work from the comprehension work, it helps struggling readers stay engaged with high-level stories.
However, you need to be the 'human in the loop' regarding the content. As of mid-2026, some school districts are under fire for letting adult-themed books slip through the filters. Don't assume that because it's a 'school app,' everything inside is G-rated. Also, keep an eye on the app store; make sure they don't accidentally pivot to the OpenAI video tool, which is a completely different beast with much higher safety risks.
