Online Narrative Tool Available to Help Develop Children’s Storytelling Skills PBS Kids has created an online narrative tool for preschoolers to support the development of storytelling and literacy skills. Dot’s Story Factory helps children learn that stories have a clear structure. They can build their own stories by drawing, using graphic stickers, typing text, and uploading photos. Visit Dot’s Story Factory to learn more, including how children’s stories can be shared online and shown on television during the PBS KIDS Preschool Block.
