摘要：This study aims to reveal the relationship between preschool children’s story comprehension and Theory of Mind skills. The study was conducted, using the correlational survey model. The study group consists of 133 (67 girls and 66 boys) children, selected through the convenience sampling method, studying at four public kindergarten that are located in the central district of Kirsehir province of Turkey in the Fall semester of the 2017-2018 academic year. The study data were collected, using the Theory of Mind Scale and Story Comprehension Questions. Two illustrated storybooks titled Frederick and Ağustos Böceği ile Karınca [The Ant and the Grasshopper] were read to the children during the study. According to the findings, a moderate positive correlation was found between story comprehension and Theory of Mind (r = 46). The highest correlation between the subtasks of the Theory of Mind and story comprehension was in the Content False Belief task (r = 43), while the lowest correlation was in the Diverse Desires task (r = 16). Additionally, a significant difference was found in favor of the girls between story comprehension and Theory of Mind in terms of gender. The study findings are discussed in the light of the relevant literature.
