The present study intended to investigate the effectiveness of using a dictogloss strategy-based program supported with powtoon to improve first year secondary stage students' narrative writing skills. Eighty first year secondary stage students from Assiut governorate in Manfalout city participated in the study. They were randomly chosen and separated into two groups: an experimental group (n=40) and a control group (n=40). The experimental group students were taught through using the dictogloss based program supported with powtoon whereas those of the control group studied the same content through the traditional method. The quasi- experimental design of two groups was used in the study. A narrative writing pre-post test was used as the study's instrument. The results indicated that the students of the experimental group performed much better on the post testing. The program was thus proved to be effective in improving their narrative writing skills (writing a good topic sentence, writing a well-organized paragraph, using transition to connect ideas of the paragraph, writing a correct grammatical sentence, write an appropriate concluding sentence, using mechanics of writing). The studies number of powtoon are rare. Therefore, the present study tried to overcome the gaps in the related literature.
