The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of storytelling on the development of the basic awareness of the fourth graders in the North and South Batinah governorates. The study society includes 77 senior teachers from both governorates. The researcher has employed a qualitative and quantitative descriptive approach and used a questionnaire for collecting data. The findings indicate that the impact of storytelling on the development of motives, values and self-awareness amongst the fourth graders was high in all schools located in both north and south Batinah governorates. The findings of the second questionnaire revealed no significant differences when comparing the mean responses of the participants located in north and south Batinah governorates.In the light of the above findings, Educational supervisors may want to focus on incorporating storytelling technique into all primary school practices, including teaching programmes across the key learning areas, to bring the discussion of values and attitudes which are infrequently addressed.
