"Inspiring the next generation to develop a love of reading and learning."
Picture
Epic is a reading website with lots of different books and audio books available for children to read or be read to. It is a great resource for you to use on a laptop or tablet/phone. It is important that the children read every day and are read to as much as possible. The more they read, the more fluent and enjoyable the reading experience becomes. When you read to them, they learn to love books and therefore want to read more themselves. 

The teachers have set up your child with their personal email address, therefore if you log onto the BGfL and go to their email, you should find an email to accept the invitation from the Epic site.

All classes at St Martin de Porres School have started reading on Epic. Here is the number of books they have read so far:

About Epic
Epic was born out of a single question: 
How do we make books more accessible to kids? As parents, it always seemed strange to us that our kids could so easily play games and watch videos on their iPhones and iPads, but the same couldn’t be said for books. So in 2013, we decided to build the first “epic” reading experience, designed just for kids. Today, Epic has grown into an award-winning subscription service, which gives millions of families and classrooms instant, unlimited access to thousands of books, videos and quizzes from leading publishers to help kids everywhere read, learn and grow.
