Sona is very squishy earlier in the game , so if Blitz hooks her she will most probably die due to her limited mobility.

Summoner spells
Flash⚪Every champion needs a flash , especially low mobility champions like Sona
Exhaust⚪Use Vs tankier champions in order to escape or just catch up and kill them

Soraka as ignite reduces incoming healing (instead of exhaust)
Runes
Primary path ( Sorcery)
Summon Aery⚪This rune provides you with extra poke and also shields your allies for more when you heal/shield them
Manaflow Band⚪Sona is very mana dependent so this rune should really make a difference
Transcendence⚪Spam is Sona's second name , so the CDR this rune provides is going to be delightful
Gathering Storm⚪This rune gives you a decent AP boost in the early game which scales into a massive one in the mid/late game
Secondary path ( Resolve)
Revitalize⚪Gives a nice boost on your heals/shields which is doubled on low health targets
Conditioning⚪The extra armor/MR boost will increase your tanking capabilities
