This study examines how integrating reading comprehension strategies with storytelling activities can enhance elementary students’reading and oral expression skills. Grounded in the strategies proposed by Ko et al. (2010)-- predicting, making connections, summarizing, identifying main ideas, and note-taking-- the researchers designed an action research program implemented during a summer after-school session with 21 students from different grades. In this program, students first predicted story content based on the title, then read the complete story, wrote a summary, connected the narrative to their personal experiences by formulating related questions, and finally took turns presenting the story aloud. Initial observations revealed that without guidance, students tended to rely on teacher prompts, struggled to independently predict and connect ideas, and limited their inquiries to information. In response, the research team collaborated with the classroom teacher to reflect on and adjust instruction by incorporating strategies such as modeling, guided questioning, and story comparisons. These adjustments enabled students to autonomously predict storylines, integrate their understanding, and develop critical thinking. The post-intervention results indicated marked improvements in predicting, summarizing, connecting, and questioning skills. The findings suggest that the combination of reading comprehension strategies with storytelling not only deepens text understanding, but also fosters creativity, critical thinking, and enhanced expressive abilities. Future research may incorporate digital storytelling tools, extend the duration of instructional interventions, and employ quantitative measures to further validate the long-term effects of this approach. This study provides a concrete and feasible instructional model, offering new insights and directions for applying and refining reading strategies through storytelling activities. |
