description This quantitative research examines if Digital Storytelling are acceptable in Yemeni schools. The study sample is 43 questionnaires distributed to 43 schools in Sana’a, addressed to headmasters or deputies. The findings indicate that nearly all schools agree to incorporate digital storybooks into their current curricula despite all barriers. The result of statistical analysis indicates there is a wide difference in conceptualizing this idea. The majority does not know what is meant by digital storybooks. It also indicates that most schools want to modify the curricula and add new teaching tools to improve education and make it more fun for children. Accordingly, the Ministry of Education should help public schools incorporate digital storybooks into the current curricula by providing all necessary equipment that will improve children’s education and boost their enthusiasm to learn. This in turn will raise private schools’ awareness of the benefits of incorporating digital storybooks into their curricula.
