This study investigates the effectiveness of story-based instruction on improving reading comprehension skills among early elementary students. Drawing upon a review of relevant literature and theoretical frameworks, including schema theory and sociocultural theory, this research examines the impact of narrative structure on comprehension development. The study employs a mixed-methods approach, incorporating both quantitative and qualitative data collection methods. Findings suggest that story-based instruction has a significant positive effect on reading comprehension outcomes among early elementary students. Quantitative analysis revealed a statistically significant improvement in reading comprehension scores for the experimental group compared to the control group (p < 0.001). Additionally, qualitative data highlighted increased engagement, motivation, and enjoyment of reading among students exposed to narrative-based approaches. These findings underscore the importance of incorporating narrative elements into instructional practices to promote literacy development and academic success in early elementary education.
