************************************************************************************************************

A while back, I tested for my black belt in kempo karate. It was a grueling affair - 8 1/2 hours of intense mental and physical tests.

At one point, we were told to run up a steep hill and, when we got to the top, perform one of our forms. Then back down, then back up. Over and over.

People half my age were green at the gills (and worse!) and I wondered exactly how much more I could take. I fought back as my mind told me to just quit.

Just then, after coming down the hill, my Sensei (teacher) walked up to me and said:

"You know this is gonna end, right? This will not last forever."

Something switched in my brain. Because, when you're running up and down a hill, it's easy to start thinking you'll spend the rest of your life running up and down that hill. When you're inside an intense ordeal, it's hard to see anything else.

Until someone is kind enough to remind you that:

"You know this is gonna end, right? This will not last forever."

After that, my mindset changed completely. I immediately told myself "Every step I take, every minute that passes is one step and one minute closer to the end. And then I'll celebrate."

For the rest of the test, I kept the image of receiving my belt and the wonderful feeling I'd have front and center. And I kept telling myself "another minute closer to the end."

So, members of our beloved CBI family, I tell you that this will not last forever. This will end. And then, we will all celebrate.

Stay strong. And start creating something beautiful.

All the Best,

Jon

THOUSANDS of GREAT Books, Games, & Quizzes!

Ask your TEACHER for AN INVITATION for FREE ACCESS!

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
In recent weeks, COVID-19 has dramatically impacted schools, teachers, students and families around the globe. With schools experiencing closures, thousands of educators have been working tirelessly to support their students and keep them reading and learning at home.

Epic wants to help. We are offering FREE worldwide Remote Student Access to Epic through the end of the school year (June 30th, 2020), by teacher invitation - no credit card required. Families only need an invitation from their teacher to get started. Students will have anywhere, anytime access to the full Epic library on all devices (including web browsers, the iOS app and the Android app), and teachers can stay connected to their students by assigning books and collections and tracking reading activity and progress.

Sounds great! Can anyone get Remote Student Access??
Remote Student Access is only available by invitation from an educator. Individual families are not eligible for this offer if a child's teacher is not using Epic. The good news? Epic is always free to educators and educators can sign up for their free account in a matter of minutes by following the instructions below.

Educators must send each students' parent or guardian an invitation from the student roster page.

HOW TO GET STARTED
If you're already an active teacher on Epic:
Invite your families to sign up for free Remote Student Access from the roster page. Students should not use your class code to log in as they normally would. [ Please follow these detailed instructions.]

If you are a teacher not currently active on Epic, but already have an Epic account:
1. Sign in to your account. If you have forgotten your password, you can request a reset to be sent to the email associated with the account

2. Set up your student roster. It's easy to add your students via Google Classroom, or one by one. (See Instructions for adding students to your roster here.)

3. Invite your families from the student roster page. [ Detailed instructions here]

If you are a teacher new to Epic:
1. Open your account at https://www.getepic.com/educators . It's 100% free; all you need is a valid educator email

2. Sign in to your account

3. Set up your student roster. It's easy to add your students via Google Classroom, or one by one. (See Instructions for adding students to your roster here.)

4. Invite your families from the student roster page. [ Detailed instructions here]

What to expect after inviting student families:
1. Parents will receive an email, set up their account, and request permission to link to your classroom. You can track each student's access status and approve family linking requests on your roster page

2. You will receive an email confirmation once the family account is successfully linked

What does the Remote Student Access Experience include? Students can log on via a web browser on a desktop or laptop computer, or the Epic app on iOS or Android. The apps are free to download from the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store.

Students can access the full library of over 40,000 e-books, audiobooks, learning videos, and quizzes that is available to them in class. (Materials in Spanish, French and Chinese, too!)

Educators can assign a book, or collections of books, to individual students or to the entire class. Educators can monitor their students' reading activity via their student reading logs.
Additional resources and step-by-step instructions:
Do you know any educators who may be interested? Free access to Epic through June 30th, 2020 is available for all educators and their students. Feel free to share this blog post with them, or point them directly to https://www.getepic.com/educators .

As we navigate this situation together, we know that reading and consistency for students is incredibly important. As always, we're here for our community of educators. Join the conversation on our Facebook Educator page or via Twitter @epic4kids.

Be well and keep reading!

What a treasure. This site is extremely useful for non readers of all ages. My children just love it. I have shared this site with many of our special needs teachers across our county. Thanks so much for providing such a fun, affordable, and worthwhile product.

We love TumbleBooks!!! I should add the kids do, too!! TumbleBooks has allowed us to introduce a vast collection of books to students and they W A N T to read. It gives them choice, gives them some control over their own learning, all while at an appropriate reading level. What could be better?
Kathy
Reading Consultant Seth Haley School, CT

I love this site! The fact that the levels of books available are so far-reaching makes this a wonderful site for classrooms---virtually any child can utilize the features on this site. The book report feature is great as well--right along with many of the standards we are teaching in our classrooms, and a great tool for guiding students. The quizzes offer students feedback, and also encouragement as they continue to read. This promotes a feeling of success among students, and furthers their love for literature and reading.
Tammy
Curriculum Coach, SC

This is the best interactive read aloud website I have found. My students and I love it. We can always locate a book easy that connects to what we have been studying. The students love to watch the pictures, and as they progress with their decoding skills they pick out words that they know. When we watch one of these books, I have to pause it after every page so they can find all their sight words that are on the page. The website makes it like have a celebrity reader in our room daily. Thank you so much for your wonderful reading website.
