![]() Collections are one of my favorite features because everyone can create and share collections through the community. You can also add Collections to their favorites list for them to check out. Children log into their profile, browse, and read a selection of books selected for the age/level that you chose in the parent panel. If your child’s teacher has a profile and assigns books, this may not be an option for you.Įpic! curates high-qualify, award-winning books from children’s publishers in a digital format. I do suggest that everyone sign up for the Homeschooler option because it has some additional features like assigning books, creating collections, and tracking your kids’ reading that are more robust than the parent version. There used to be a yearly subscription available but it isn’t listed now. Both Homeschoolers and Parents subscriptions are the same price, but they have slightly different features. There are 3 different types of subscriptions: Educators (free) Homeschoolers, and Parents. If you’re a brick-and-mortar teacher or librarian with qualifying proof, it’s free. If you want to check it out, look at this collection of 90+ books I put together for elementary age homeschooling. From picture books to chapter books, Epic! has a huge assortment of books. Unlike Overdrive or Hoopla, Epic! is only for kids’ books. There are eBooks, audio books, read-to-me books, and educational videos. We’re hooked!Įpic is a digital library of children’s books, used through an app for mobile devices and tablets, and through the computer interface. That month stretched into a few, then more. I went and checked it out, and the more I looked the more I was curious. The first time I heard about Epic! Digital Library the person mentioning it called it the “Netflix for kids.” That’s an accurate description, right down to the pros and cons. This is based on our personal experience and opinions. I love that I can track my children’s reading and they can earn virtual badges for completing certain goals.All opinions in this article are my own, and I got zip/zilch compensation for it. ![]() You can have up to 4 children’s profiles on the account for the price of 1. Our library is unfortunately pretty lousy when it comes to e-books. This will really streamline the process for me and open up a LOT more reading options for them. We’ve also been trying to rent books for free from our library for my kids who are voracious readers. We’ve been scouring for free e-books that we’ve been buying on Amazon. ![]() PLUS there’s a 1 month FREE trial you can sign up for here. *Note – prices may be different than original post.įOR FAMILIES: So of course there is a fee for non-educators but considering all that you are offered in my opinion it really isn’t a bad price. ![]() They have oodles of categories to choose for each profile. I scanned through some of the books offered and it looks really good! Hey – if it’s FREE it’s worth checking out right? I love that each teacher can have up to 30 students profiles (their app says 30 but their FB page says 36?) on it and you can track their reading progress. We’re working on getting an account set up for our school! For the FREE teacher account you DO need to sign up with a school e-mail BUT I’ve been watching their Facebook page and they are letting everyone know if you are an educator without a school address (like us) to e-mail them and their support staff will work with you to get set up. So what exactly does it offer you? 10,000 free e-books (many with audio) for your child/student based on their interest level. The Epic app is geared for ages 12 and under. It’s FREE for educators & librarians in elementary schools in the USA AND in Canada ( sign up HERE) and very inexpensive for families wanting to use it (see below – 1 month FREE). I came across this company called Epic! which has an app for both iOS and Android devices and will also work on laptops and Chromebooks. ![]()
