Children who scored above a standard deviation of the arithmetic mean of the inventory scores and scored under a standard deviation were identified. 57 children who attended school and volunteered to participate in the study constituted the study group of the study. One of the data collection tools of the research is the pictural story book named "Parkta Bir Gün". This book was first used by the researcher in order to get to know the children in the study group better, then the children were asked to tell this book. Shape analysis of the stories (storytelling length and storytelling speed) created through this book was made. One of the data collection tools of the research is the pictural unwritten story book named "Doğumgünü Hediyesi". The children were able to create a story by looking at the pictures, and the data obtained from these stories were evaluated with the Story Narration Evaluation Form.
