Summary
In pre-school period, different methods and techniques are used in order to enable children learn and use the concepts in a more permanent way, and to support them in all areas of their development [23]. Through the different story types of myths, fantasy, adventure, fiction and non-fiction, the life will be enriched in a realistic and creative way [4]. Stories help children to understand the world that they live, and to establish a relationship between what they know and experience. Stories have a bridge function between the languages used in the educational environment starting from an early age and in everyday life, for a developing child. The stories, which are important in the development of pre-school children's communication skills, are the basis of pre-school education programs [16, 21]. Stories fascinate the children by supporting their world of fantasy and imagination. Story experiences enrich children's imaginative games, and help them to discover their senses in a safe environment and to realize their fears [4]. Quality stories support the creation of mental images as they can generate an interest in the language for children [15]
