The research states that oral storytelling enhances children’s imagination (Aina, 1999), increases interaction through eye contact (Malo & Bullard, 2000), and is more personal and enjoyable than listening to stories being read (Meyers, 1990). Several researchers state that oral storytelling promotes listening skills (Colon-Vila, 1997; Ellis, 1997) and “enhances fluency, vocabulary acquisition, and recall” (Farrell & Nessell, 1982, p. 1). In a study comparing oral storytelling and story reading, the findings showed students in the storytelling group improved more in their recall as compared to the students in the reading group (Gallets, 2005). My study with teacher candidates to empower them with skills to tell oral stories corroborates that oral storytelling improves recall (Wineberg, 2018).
