What is EPIC BOOKS?
Epic is the world's leading online children's subscription book service offering immediate, on-demand access to over 40,000 high-quality illustrated books and chapter books for children ages 12 and under.
Epic's library includes thousands of Read-to-Me books, Audiobooks, educational videos, and fun educational quizzes. Partnerships with leading publishers, including HarperCollins and National Geographic, bring age-appropriate, award-winning fiction and non-fiction books to your child's fingertips.
What language supports does EPIC Books offer?
In addition to 40,000 titles in English, Epic carries over 2,000 Spanish and bilingual Spanish/English books, hundreds of Chinese and bilingual Chinese/English books and over 500 French books in our library. All books are immediately available to Epic subscribers.
Also, there are two different types of audio-enabled books available on Epic, pure Audiobooks and Read-to-Me books.
Audiobooks (Purple-tagged): Audiobooks are indicated by a purple tag on the bottom right-hand side of the book that says "Audiobook". These are strictly audio without a visual book and pages to follow along with, perfect for bedtime stories, language learning, and much more! Many of these audiobooks also feature music and songs!
How do I use EPIC Books?
Students are given a link to a teacher library and an access code. Teachers can select specific assignments, books and activities for them or give students some choice in what they interact with.
