He puts so much energy into the reading, in a way that kids seem to really enjoy.  He also often deviates from the published text.  Listening to him made me willing to take a lot more risks as a reader.&lt;p&gt;I read &amp;quot;Paper Bag Princess&amp;quot; to my daughter&amp;#x27;s kindergarten class, and then played them Munsch&amp;#x27;s rendition [0].  Whenever I go back, the kids ask if they can hear an author reading their own book.&lt;p&gt;[0] &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.youtube.com&amp;#x2F;watch?v=hIPrb-sA6Uo&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.youtube.com&amp;#x2F;watch?v=hIPrb-sA6Uo&lt;/a&gt;</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>What&apos;s Going on in Your Child&apos;s Brain When You Read Them a Story?</title><url>https://www.npr.org/sections/ed/2018/05/24/611609366/whats-going-on-in-your-childs-brain-when-you-read-them-a-story</url></story>

For example, you can find a bunch of Star Wars Clone Wars books, and it turns out each book is an episode in the series.&lt;p&gt;I discovered this because we got my kid the books first, which I read to her a bunch of times, and then one day we sat down to watch the show together, which I&amp;#x27;d actually never seen, and realized that the first two episodes I&amp;#x27;d already read to her as books.&lt;p&gt;What was really cool though was that she had a much deeper understanding of those first couple episodes than the subsequent episodes, and actually preferred the books to the show.&lt;p&gt;Anyway, my whole point is that my single point of data seems to support this research -- that she processed better when read to.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>What&apos;s Going on in Your Child&apos;s Brain When You Read Them a Story?</title><url>https://www.npr.org/sections/ed/2018/05/24/611609366/whats-going-on-in-your-childs-brain-when-you-read-them-a-story</url></story>
