Nearly everywhere you look you will see books. Most of the money that I spend on my classroom is used to purchase new books for my kids to read. We have more than 2,000 books in our classroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It isn\u2019t enough. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter how many I buy, the limitations of my classroom library cannot meet the diverse needs of all of my students. Because of this, we must find other ways to get the right books to the right readers. We visit our school library at least once a week, and I am lucky enough to have a principal that has more than 500 books in her office library.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another place we find books is on Epic!. Having over 35,000 books available to my students through Epic! is priceless, and the thing that continues to blow my mind is that it is completely <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getepic.com\/educators\">free to educators<\/a>. My students use the app on our 10 iPads, and they use the web-based version on our 20 Chromebooks.&nbsp;These are the 10 books and series that my kids <em>love <\/em>reading on Epic!: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns has-2-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>1.

They loved it! When we finished, a bunch of them wanted to read the second book in the series, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getepic.com\/app\/read\/49210\"><em>Darth Paper Strikes Back<\/em><\/a>. The problem was, we only had one copy. If each reader had to wait until our one copy was ready, the excitement about the series would have faded. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.getepic.com\/app\/read\/49108\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"380\" class=\"wp-image-1379\" src=\"https:\/\/www.getepic.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/origami-yoda.png\" alt=\"The Origami Yoda series by Tom Angleberger\" style=\"width: 300px;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.getepic.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/origami-yoda.png 464w, https:\/\/www.getepic.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/origami-yoda-320x405.png 320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>With Epic!, my kids were able to not only read <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getepic.com\/app\/read\/49210\"><em>Darth Paper Strikes Back<\/em><\/a>, they were also able to read the other books in the series<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2.
