Story repetition 'helps children'

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/education/education-news/story-repetition-helps-children-2220368.html

This article was about a study that was done, testing the learning of young children through story time. Those who were read the same book multiple times, versus those who read multiple different books, remembers details and gained a larger vocabulary. By reading multiple different books, the children do not pick up on the details as much as just listening to the story. The study could not explain how the learning happens, but it did!
If you think about it, this really makes a lot of sense. I have read many children's books and the children pick up and can follow along when it is a story that they have heard before. Many can explain in detail exactly what the story means and so on. I never really thought about this before reading this article, but as a future teacher, I think this will be a valuable piece of information.
