This was a quasi-experimental study employing the pretest-posttest group design. The research population comprised Grade V students at elementary schools in Cluster 4 of Bantul District in semester I in the academic year of 2013/2014. The sample, consisting of three classes, was selected by means of the cluster sampling technique. The data were collected through tests. The tests were administered to investigate students’ story-telling skills before and after the treatment. The test instruments were validated through expert judgment and were then tried out. The results of the tryout were analyzed using the Cronbach Alpha assisted by SPSS Version 16.0 to assess the reliability.

The significance of the results of the analysis was then tested at a significance level of 0.05.The results of the study showed that the scores of the storytelling skills of the control group, experimental group I, and experimental group II were normally distributed and homogeneous. The control group attained an average pretest score of 16.07 and an average posttest score of 16.60. Experimental group I attained an average pretest score of 16.13 and an average posttest score of 20.97, while experimental group II attained an average pretest score of 15.80 and an average posttest score of 20.90. The result of the t-test was indicated by sig. 2 tailed 0.000 < 0.005.
