Abstract

Abstract: This research examines the use of interactive digital narrative stories through the Leoteca platform as a didactic strategy for the development of verbal language in three-year-old children at the Los Amiguitos Child Development Center, located in the La Avanzada sector. The study was conducted with the main purpose of evaluating how this technological tool influences oral expression, vocabulary growth, and the communicative abilities of young children. From a methodological perspective, the research was structured under a quantitative, quasi-experimental approach. To obtain accurate data, a pretest posttest design was applied to children from initial education sublevel 2, using direct observation and structured guides as the main data collection instruments. The final findings revealed highly positive changes in the linguistic development of the participants, highlighting a notable increase in spontaneous participation and greater fluency in everyday interactions. In conclusion, the results confirm that the pedagogical integration of digital stories not only motivates children but also constitutes an effective strategy for strengthening essential communicative competencies during early childhood.
