The purpose of the current study is to investigate the effect of the digital story-telling method on the listening skill of pre-school children. In the study, Posttest-only Randomized Design with a Control Group, one of the experimental methods, was used. The study was conducted on 75 children aged 60-72 months enrolled at a state kindergarten in the city of Kütahya. The participating students were randomly assigned to 3 different experimental groups. In the data collection process of the study, 11 different stories were used and these stories were told to the groups by using three different methods of narration. After the stories had been told to the children, the data of the current study were collected with a semi-structured interview form. The collected data were scored by using an evaluation form (rubric). When the collected data were analyzed with Kruskal Wallis H test, it was found that there is a significant difference between the groups. In order to determine between which groups the difference is and in favor of which group, Mann Whitney U test was run. As a result, it was found that digital story telling had a significant effect on the 60-72 month-old preschoolers’ discriminative, selective, emphatic, creative, critical and effective listening skills. Moreover, the digital stories told with the teacher support were ound to be more effective than digital story telling in all the types of listening addressed in the current study.
