I. Introduction

In this study An Approach to Teaching Reading, Originally based on oral tradition,

myths, fables, and fairytales have enabled adults to engage in continuous communication with
youth up to this point. Stories have been told for generations to inform, amuse, and raise people's
consciousness of moral values and cultural norms; as such, they constitute a significant
component of traditional heritage and foster mutual understanding and tolerance among diverse
populations.
As culture is essential for learning, stories play a fundamental role in defining an
individual's role in society and can be viewed as important community practices that can
empower and prepare younger generations for the future. From a didactic,
psychological/therapeutic, and pedagogic standpoint, stories are a useful resource.
From a didactic perspective, storybooks can teach kids new things about the world,
expand their vocabulary, improve their language skills in particular, and foster communication
between the teacher, parent, or other professional staff member telling the story and the
audience.It is well known that stories, through mirroring imaginary scenarios that correspond
with children's actual issues, make them feel secure and at ease in trying situations. They also
offer healthier coping mechanisms for internal conflicts, life's challenges, and stressors.
Storytelling makes up for any deficiencies that young people may have by offering them
constructive role models and positive behavioral patterns through the characters they can relate
to.
In fact, schools represent the ideal setting to perform health-related interventions and
positively influence students' wellbeing as well as their academic achievements. The World
Health Organization (WHO) suggests that health literacy be incorporated into school curricula, in
the context of a health-promoting classroom environment, to provide new generations with
useful knowledge about healthy lifestyles.
