    1

    Download the Epic! app

    ~16s
    Open the App Store on iPhone or iPad, or Google Play on Android, and search for "Epic: Kids' Books & Reading." Download and install the app for free. Epic! is also available as a web app at getepic.com if your child prefers reading on a computer.
    2

    Create a parent account

    ~25s
    Open the app and tap "I'm a Parent." Enter your email address and create a password. If your child's school or teacher uses Epic!, you may also see an option to enter a class code — this links your child's account to their classroom and may unlock premium content for free.

    Quick Tip

    Quick Tip: Even if your child already uses Epic! at school, setting up a parent account at home lets them continue reading outside of school hours.

    3

    Add your child's profile

    ~18s
    After creating your parent account, tap "Add Child." Enter your child's name, age, and reading level. If you are unsure of the reading level, choose "I'm not sure" and the app will suggest books appropriate for their age. You can update the reading level later once you see what they are comfortable with.

    Browse and find books your child will love

    ~27s
    Tap on your child's profile to see recommended books based on their age and interests. Browse categories like "Adventure," "Science," "Humor," or "Animals" to find titles that match what they enjoy. Tap any book to start reading right away. For audiobooks, look for the headphone icon on the book cover.

    Quick Tip

    Quick Tip: The "Read to Me" feature is excellent for younger children who cannot read independently yet. The narrator reads aloud while highlighting each word on the screen.

    Check your child's reading activity

    ~18s
    Log in to the parent section of the app or visit getepic.com/parent to view a report of your child's reading history. You can see which books were completed, how many minutes were spent reading each week, and get badge notifications when your child finishes a book or reaches a reading milestone.

    Epic! is a digital reading platform designed for children ages 12 and under. It gives children unlimited access to more than 40,000 books, audiobooks, learning videos, and quizzes across every interest and reading level. Titles include popular series like Dog Man, Captain Underpants, National Geographic Kids, and many more. The library also includes Spanish-language books, which makes it useful for bilingual families.

    For parents, Epic! offers a clear reading tracker that shows which books a child has read, how much time they spent reading, and what reading level they are working at. Teachers also use Epic! widely in classrooms, and many schools provide free access codes that give children access to the full library at no cost to families.

    For families without a school code, Epic! offers a free reading mode with a limited selection of books, or a paid subscription for $9.99 per month that unlocks the full library. The subscription covers up to four child profiles under one account.

    The app is available on iPhone, iPad, Android phones and tablets, Amazon Fire tablets, and through web browsers on computers. Children can read independently or follow along with audiobooks that highlight words as they are spoken — a feature that supports early readers and children who are learning English.
