In Malaysian primary education, writing skills among the primary ESL learners have always been a focus since it is one of the major English language skills being accessed at the end of their primary education. Although much of the writing at the primary level is guided, it is found that the learners often shun the writing section and show a disinterested manner in learning. Therefore, a quasi-experimental research was conducted to explore the use of PaW-Modo as a strategy in enhancing paragraph writing. The study involved a total of 42 Primary 4 pupils from an urban school, School A and a sub-urban school, School B. Data was collected via tests before and after the intervention, followed by a questionnaire comprising 4 closed-ended items and 2 open-ended items for PaW-Burger and PaW-Oreo activities in PaW-Modo. The post-test result reflected the improvement in their writing skill and the findings from the questionnaire had also revealed that most of the pupils liked using PaW-Modo in writing activities. Therefore, this research would probably benefit both teachers and parents to guide their pupils to experience fun and meaningful learning in paragraph writing.
