As part of our Chromebook implementation this week, my students were introduced to a website called Epic. Epic is a online library of more that 25,000 books, videos, quizzes and more. Epic can be accessed from the website or an app downloaded to a handheld device. After the teacher create a classroom, each student is given a individual account. Teacher can even import their class from Google Classroom to make this process even more simple. Supplying students with the classroom code and the website gets them quick access. 
This has become a really popular tool in my classroom. My students are asking me often if they can get on when coming in in the morning, and after they complete their classwork. I have assigned a social studies project that allows students to complete research using the books Epic has to offer on Kentucky. Additionally, my lower readers have the ability to access books that can be read to them.
Epic comes with a quiz features on some book. While I haven't specifically assigned books and quizzes to students, they are interested and trying it out on their own. I have had several students report their quiz scores to me. I can see Epic being used with guided reading time as a independent reading activity or within a small group with the teachers. The possibilities are endless. The excitement on students faces make me more and more interested in finding other ways to incorporate it within the classroom.
Thanks for sharing this resource. I am always looking for ways to provide engaging books. I like how it will read to students because I find struggling readers are more reluctant to read on their own. You have great ideas about integrating it into reading rotations and research for projects. My students will be excited to use this.
