Epic! Read-To-Me Books

Epic! Read-To-Me Books are audio-enabled picture books that highlight each word on the page as it is spoken aloud. This simple yet effective feature helps young children build reading fluency, phonics awareness, and listening comprehension at their own pace.

How It Works: Children tap the play button and follow along as a narrator reads the story. Each word highlights in real-time, connecting spoken language to printed text — a research-backed technique for building early literacy skills.

Extensive Library: Hundreds of read-to-me titles spanning fiction and nonfiction, including popular series and award-winning picture books. New titles added weekly.

Independent Learning: Designed for children who cannot yet read independently. Kids can explore stories on their own without needing an adult to read to them, fostering independence and a love of books.

Available on: Web browsers, iPad, iPhone, and Android tablets. Part of the Epic! subscription ($7.99/month) or free for educators.
