Master PSLE Situational Writing with CPD Singapore’s Primary 6 English: Mastering Situational Writing (Second Edition)
If your child is preparing for the PSLE English Paper 1, you already know how crucial Situational Writing is. It’s not just about writing a letter or an email — it’s about clarity, tone, structure, and responding directly to the task. Yet, many Primary 6 students struggle to score well in this component.
That’s why the Primary 6 English: Mastering Situational Writing (Second Edition) from CPD Singapore is an essential learning tool. Specially designed to meet the demands of the latest MOE English syllabus, this book provides the framework, practice, and exam techniques students need to excel in Situational Writing.
Whether your child is struggling with tone, unsure how to organise their response, or needs help scoring full content marks, this guide will help them write with purpose and confidence.
✍️ What Is Situational Writing in PSLE English?
Situational Writing is the first part of English Paper 1. Students are given a prompt — typically an email, letter, report, or note — and are expected to write a 150-word response based on provided visuals and information.
Marks are awarded for:
- Task Fulfilment (6 marks): Did the student respond to all required points accurately?
- Language Use (9 marks): Is the response grammatically correct, well-structured, and appropriately formal or informal?
That’s 15 valuable marks — and with the right approach, students can aim to score close to full marks.
🧠 Why Students Struggle with Situational Writing
Despite the clear format, many students lose marks for:
- Missing important details from the prompt
- Using the wrong tone (too formal or too casual)
- Poor organisation of ideas
- Grammar or spelling mistakes
- Lack of clarity and purpose in the response
This is where the Primary 6 English: Mastering Situational Writing (Second Edition) comes in — by teaching the format, providing structured templates, and offering extensive practice, it turns Situational Writing from a weak spot into a strength.
