Results in table 3 shows that the higher mean score is 
for the experimental group post-test. The progress in 
pupils' speaking skills may possibly be due to the use of 
picture narrating strategy that enabled pupils to use both 
the sequential pictures and the rubrics given in their 
training to create their own stories. During reviewing 
studies related to the problem of the current study, the 
researcher found a number of studies (e.g., Ahmed, 2020; 
Babu, 
Ashrafuzzaman, 
Khanum,
