Just because school’s out and many of us are sheltering in place, that doesn’t mean reading and learning have to come to a halt. If you’re a teacher who uses Epic, you can invite families to use Epic Free. Here’s how it works.
With Epic Free, students can access a limited library of select titles for up to two hours a week free of charge. Here are just some of the great titles kids can enjoy on Epic Free this summer.
