Looking for unlimited ebooks to read to your class? Well Epic (app and website) is the digital tool for you! This resource is free to educators and provides you with unlimited ebooks as well as audio books for kids ages 2-12. With more than 15,000 books to choose from you can read the books or watch videos online or offline, on the web, or on mobile devices. Many selections are by well-known authors or from major publishers, and the collection includes English, Spanish, and Chinese books. Books can be searched for by subject, genre, and age, and some are audio or read-to-me versions.
Parents can sign up too, but it's a subscription based service. The resources has a reading stats page, time spent reading, number of pages flipped, and books read are tracked, and kids can earn badges and rewards based on certain milestones. There's also a community section where kids can share opinions on books (there's no chatting or cross-commenting), but you can opt in or out. Note that younger kids could switch their settings or change profiles and see books for older kids, but there's nothing wildly inappropriate available, and parents can see everything a kids reads through their own account.
