read-along
Story with soundtrack
A read-along is a book paired with an audio recording that narrates the text, allowing listeners—usually children—to follow along as the story is read aloud.
Audio cues like chimes signal when to turn the page.
The format also works as an adjective: a read-along storybook, read-along audio.
