students at Lowell School, Waterloo, Iowa, were taught storytelling
techniques and given opportunities to practice these techniques for 35-40
minutes per week for six months. This activity was conducted in small groups
(8-9 students in each group, with 43 students total). After six months, these
students significantly increased their performance on vocabulary and reading
comprehension tests. "Evaluation Report Of Storybridge Program

studied consisted of kindergarten, first, and second grade students. Half the
students were read stories aloud, the other half were told the same stories
by a storyteller. Students in both the reading and storytelling groups
improved on most measures. However, on some measures, notably those regarding
recall ability, students in the storytelling group improved more than
students in the reading group. "Telling the Stars: A Quantitative
