Have you heard of EPIC? It is a website/app that we are using in our classroom! The Super Kids use it as a centre during our reader’s workshop time. They can listen to books or read them. Each Super Kid has created their own profile in our class account. It is a free for libraries and teachers. Unfortunately families can’t access our classroom account. I already contact them and asked. There is a home version if you are interested in checking it out. One of the Super Kids said, “Mrs. Didyk! This is Netflix for books!” She is completely right! It looks just like a Netflix screen, but with books tailored to their interests. Check it out if you are interested. Nothing can replace holding a book in your hands, but I’m alway looking for ways to hook my kiddos! They are so tech savvy.
Thanks for the handy tip; we’ll check out the “EPIC” app tonight!
