Frequently asked
What is Epic and who can use it?
Epic is a digital reading platform offering over 40,000 books, audiobooks, and videos for children aged 12 and under. It is available to families, educators, and students. Families can access a free trial, while educators receive free basic access. Parents and teachers can create accounts to manage reading progress and content preferences.
How does Epic's content curation work?
Epic partners with 250+ publishers to select high-quality books, audiobooks, and videos. Titles are vetted for educational value and age-appropriate content. The platform uses reading level assessments to recommend books matching a child's developmental stage, ensuring content is both engaging and suitable for their skill level.
How do educators manage classroom access?
Educators can use the 'School Admin Portal' to create class rosters, assign books, and monitor student progress. They can also customize settings to enforce reading goals and access reports on individual student engagement. The 'School Privacy Promise' ensures student data is handled securely and only shared with authorized parties.
How does Epic compare to Kindle Kids or Scholastic?
Epic differs from Kindle Kids and Scholastic by offering a broader selection of books (40,000+ vs. 100,000+ in Kindle's catalog) and integrating educational tools like reading level assessments. Unlike Scholastic's print and digital magazines, Epic focuses exclusively on books and videos. Its school admin portal provides unique features for classroom management not available in Kindle or Scholastic platforms.
What should I do if Epic doesn't load properly?
