I learned how to read very early. Not only did my Mom teach me how to read, she taught me that it can be enjoyable. Once I knew how magical and fun that reading could be, I couldn’t get enough of it. I’d read when I was supposed to be doing homework. I’d read when I was supposed to be practicing dance. I’d read when I was supposed to be delivering newspapers. I still love to read to this day, although I don’t have as much time to do so as I’d like.
Reading itself is timeless. Some of the many benefits of reading are that it helps kids learn as well as develop creative and critical thinking, encourage analytical and memory skills, and builds the imagination. While there is and should always be a place and time for kids to read, the method of delivery has changed. We still have opportunity to read paperback and hard cover books, but electronic books are growing in popularity.
Electronic books are like traditional books in many ways, including cost. As a young child I frequently went through one or more books a day. I can’t even imagine how my Mom was able to keep up with the expense. It’s too bad that Epic! wasn’t available back then.
Epic! is a subscription service providing an unlimited library of high-quality books for kids 12 and under. Growing in popularity, Epic! was been featured in the November 2015 issue of Parents Magazine, and has also been recently featured on Parenting.com, USA Today, Refinery 29 and more.
Epic! contains over 10,000 fiction and non-fiction titles in a variety of formats including picture books, early readers, chapter books, Read-to-Me and Audiobooks. Popular and award-winning books and series include Ramona, Big Nate, Flat Stanley, National Geographic, Goosebumps, Fancy Nancy, Warriors, The Chronicles of Narnia, Where the Wild Things Are and many more are available to subscribers. More than 500 Spanish and bilingual Spanish/English books were added to the constantly growing library last month as the first category of books beyond English. Books can be quickly and easily accessed whether you’re online or off on any iOS or Android device. It’s also available on any web browser from your laptop or desktop.
Epic! costs only $4.99/month with the first month FREE and supports up to 4 individual child profiles per account. Each child receives personalized recommendations based on their reading level and interests, helping them discover new books. Children collect badges and rewards for the reading they’ve done.

Second time I’m seeing Epic! on a gift guide! Tried it out and my son loves it – definitely a great gift!
I think this is one of the best ideas I’ve ever seen. I love the idea of badges to keep the kiddos motivated.
As a mom and former teacher, I am all for anything that gets to children to read. This sounds like such a great way to encourage reading. I like the personalized recommendations.
I liked giving my kids access to as many books as I could. I think Epic! sounds like an awesome service!
This is so great. I really like that they offer incentives to keep the kids reading.
Epic would make a fabulous gift idea and seems like a great way to encourage children to read more. It is truly like having a full library at your fingertips!
We always give books for gifts to our kids – they last much longer than any toy! Great idea for a book subscription.
I absolutely love the idea of a book subscription service for kids! I was (and still am) an avid reader and could never keep enough books on hand! I also like that they offer audiobooks as they are helpful for kids who struggle with reading!
Oh I’ve heard amazing things about Epic!! Thinking this will be a great app to add to his tablet. Very excited!! Thanks for sharing!
Books came from everywhere once upon a time–book stores, passed on treasures, gifts, dollar stores and school fliers from Scholastic and its like regularly.
My daughter and son love to read. They are always looking for new books. This would be perfect for them!
My kids love to read. This would be a great gift idea. $4.99 a month is so affordable.
I love to read and so do my girls. My middle schooler actually gets in trouble for reading when she is supposed to be doing her homework.
I will have to tell my son about this. Hopefully he will read more
What a great idea! I see many favorites I know from my childhood too. The badges are genius.
This is perfect, my son loves books so this is right up his alley.
What a fun subscription idea. I love how they offer badges!
My son has been reading so many books lately, it’s tough to keep up with him! I may look into a subscription for the summer, thanks for the recommendation!
