This book shows connections between oral story listening and unique, enduring educational effects in and outside of the classroom. Using scientific studies and interviews, as well as personal observations from more than thirty years in schools and libraries, the authors examine learning outcomes from frequent story listening. Throughout the book, Schatt and Ryan illustrate that experiencing stories told entirely from memory transforms individuals and builds community, affecting areas such as reading comprehension, visualization, focus, flow states, empathy, attachment, and theory of mind.

The benefits of repeated story listening: "Sometimes I get so hypnotized I forget where I am…”.- Chapter 5. Using shared experience to build classroom community: “We were in a group, but I didn’t pay any attention to the other kids.  The story was being told to me and I got to take it and go.”.- Chapter 6. Collateral learning and the development of independent learners: “And it’s funny, I get stuck in bookstores…I go looking for stories more than other people.”.- Chapter 7. Reasons for investing time in storytelling and how to get started: “How often would you have to tell stories to your own children to have them get this experience?”.
