Epic Kids has been named a finalist in the 2026 EdTech Awards, presented by EdTech Digest, one of the largest global programs recognizing innovation in education technology.
We are honored to be included! It speaks to our core belief: When literacy tools for students are engaging and accessible, kids don’t just improve their skills, they become lifelong readers.
“Congratulations to The EdTech Awards 2026 finalists and winners! We’re no longer asking if technology will transform learning—it already has. The leaders honored here are defining what comes next,” said Victor Rivero, who as Editor-in-Chief of EdTech Digest, oversees the program.
“The future of learning isn’t something we’re waiting for—it’s unfolding right now, shaped by innovators who aren’t reacting to change, but creating it across classrooms, workplaces and beyond,” said Rivero.
The EdTech Awards recognize standout products, leaders and companies for their contributions in transforming education through technology to enrich the lives of learners everywhere.
This recognition also highlights a broader shift happening across education, where the right digital tools are helping make reading more personal, flexible and connected to each child’s interests.
Built for Real Classrooms
Recognition from the EdTech Awards highlights tools that work in real learning environments.
As one of many edtech tools for classrooms, Epic helps educators support a wide range of readers without losing flexibility. Students can access books that match both their level and their interests, making reading feel more achievable and meaningful.
In many classrooms, that shows up in small but important ways: students finishing books, exploring new topics and building confidence as they go. Over time, that consistency is what turns practice into habit.
