Novel Effect
The app has a library of children's books often used as read-alouds. The teacher or librarian reading the book clicks "start" as he or she begins reading and the app provides interactive music and sound effects for the story.

Music and sound effects for library (and classroom) read-alouds. These are specific to titles, so they match exactly with what is happening in the books. Several librarians used it in 2020 when they made the app free for educational use and it was a huge hit. Privacy Policy: https://noveleffect.com/classroom-privacy-policy/
No current access purchased. One educator can purchase a year's membership at $59.00 (or at $41.99 with a current promotion that is often repeated). Full school memberships are also available, but for library read-aloud use, the educator subscription seems sufficient.
