Situational Writing is a tested english topic in the Singapore PSLE. For the exact layout the paper asks for and where its marks sit, see the PSLE situational writing format, and for how those marks are awarded, the situational writing marking scheme. The marks are not usually lost because a child does not know the method — they are lost in one specific step, and because nobody can tell the child which step went wrong, the same mistake repeats.
Options: a) The purpose of the funfair, the date, and a polite request to use the hall. · b) Your favourite funfair games, in case the Principal wants to play them. · c) A complaint that the hall is dusty and not cleaned often. · d) A list of snacks you want the Principal to buy for the class.
Correct answer: A
Four things that work, and they use the same method as the worked example above.
Marks in Situational Writing are usually lost in one step, not across the whole question. Ask your child to say each step before writing it — a broken step is much easier to catch when you can hear it.
A tick or a cross on the last line tells you nothing about where the thinking broke. Read the working line by line and ask, for each line, what it was for.
One sentence is enough. Name the step rather than the topic — “I divided before finding one part” tells you what to fix next; “I am bad at Situational Writing” does not.
The free bank has 4 Situational Writing questions, marked step by step, and it needs no signup. A short set with the working marked tells you more than a long page of answers.
Every question in this topic is marked step by step, so when your child goes wrong you can both see exactly which step broke. No signup.

This page shows one exam-style question worked step by step, and the mistakes that cost marks. It does not read your child’s own writing — nothing here marks a real answer.
That is the job of the free bank: every written step is marked on its own, so when your child goes wrong you can both see which step broke, instead of only seeing that the answer was wrong. Four Situational Writing questions are in it, marked step by step, free for your first month, no signup and no card.
