By now I am sure you have heard all about EPIC for Educators! Similar to the movie streaming site Netflix, EPIC provides access to a multitude of great quality texts - books online!

Most of our classes have free accounts that let teachers set up individual profiles for each child. Students can select books that are "good fits" - not too easy and just challenging enough to have them actually use their strategies to make meaning and understand new words. 

Books of all levels, including picture books with a read-to-me feature and longer books that are audiobooks are available.

Old favourites and new series...
Graphic novels...
Informational texts of all sorts...
