Tips
and Tricks!

If a student interrupts or if you have a talking point, the novel effect will automatically stop.

If you are in a classroom, make sure the app is hooked in to your projector and/or speakers so students can hear the sounds.

You can read a book from your library, you can read an e-book from any site, or there are e-books available on the app.

Anyone can use novel effect. It is for any age.

You can also record yourself reading and use novel effect. Be aware of copyright.

The app occasionally can go out of sync a little bit, you may have to speed up your cadence.

Choose books with animals or actions for a more interactive read.

You can request books from Novel Effect to be added to their collection!

Example of Novel Effect!

Record Yourself Using Novel Effect!

Using a mobile device, take pictures of each page of the book you would like to read.

We recommend importing the pictures to PowerPoint, so you can use their page curl tool. You could also do this in Spark, Flipgrid, iMovie etc.

After importing pictures, make sure every book page has its own slide. Make sure each page fits the dimension of the slide.

Feel free to add borders to make it pretty!

Then use the transition - page curl.

Using Screencastify (make sure your picture is in a corner) or some other video recording app, start reading from your PowerPoint. At the same time, on a different device you will start Novel Effect. As you read, hit the arrow to advance to the next slide on PowerPoint.

Have fun! Enjoy!

Tips for Teachers

Use Buncee for Weekly Schedules during remote learning or in the classroom.

Start with something small to get your students used to the platform. I like to start with an all about me slide so they can research their favorites. You can ask them to add in their favorite animal, things to do, colors, shapes, etc.

Use Buncee to encourage creativity in your classroom

Use Buncee for Community Outreach and to flatten the walls of your classroom.
