Epic: Kids' Books & Reading

A large reading library for children

Epic: Kids' Books & Reading gives children a digital library of more than 40,000 books, audiobooks, learning videos and other reading material. It suits families looking for a broad selection in one place, as well as educators who want extra reading material for students. Children can browse by interest and choose between conventional ebooks, read-aloud titles and audio stories.

Formats that support developing readers

The app is designed for different reading abilities and attention spans. Read-to-me books, audiobooks, narration, music and sound effects can help younger children follow a story, while quizzes and vocabulary tools add a learning element to selected titles. A built-in dictionary and highlighted words can support pronunciation and word recognition. The catalogue also includes books in Spanish, French and Chinese alongside its mainly English selection.

Useful for home and school

• Family profiles allow up to four children to have separate reading experiences.
• A parent dashboard provides a view of reading activity and progress.
• Teachers can share or assign books and monitor reading over daily or weekly periods.
• Filters for reading levels and school assessment systems help educators find suitable material.

Why it stands out

Epic combines the range of a digital library with features that make reading easier to guide and track. Rewards, badges and reading quizzes give children extra reasons to return without turning the app into a simple game collection. With a 4.0 rating from more than 90,000 reviews and over 10 million installs, it has a substantial track record. Epic Kids Inc. publishes the app under the Education category.
