The current study aims to find out how the use of storytelling can promote literacy skills for primary stage students. The study adopted the pre-experimental one group pre-post administration design. The study was applied to a voluntary group (N = 30) from primary stage students in Hammamat El-Kobba Governmental school. Literacy skills pre-posttest was used to determine the participants’ most needed literacy skills. Accordingly, the sessions of the unit were developed based on the three literacy skills: grammar, punctuation, and writing. The unit was administered to participants in a two-week practicum block. Paired t-test was used to measure the effect of the program on the students’ literacy skills. Results revealed that the program was effective in developing students’ literacy skills as there were statistically significant differences between the pre and post administrations of the test in favour of the post-administration.
