: This study aims to investigate the effect of the ‘Build Me Up’ in helping Year 5 pupils in a rural primary school overcome problems in constructing correct sentences. To achieve the aim of the study, a pre-test and post-test were used to collect the quantitative data required. Therefore, 16 pupils from a rural school in Belaga, Sarawak, Malaysia, with weak writing skills were selected to participate in this study. The analysis of the data indicated that the ‘Build Me Up’ tool did help the pupils overcome their problems in writing grammatically correct sentences. The use of ‘Build Me Up’ aids pupils in writing sentences using present tense, past tense, present continuous tense and past continuous tense correctly. Besides that, it also helps the pupils to understand the sentence pattern better in order to improve their writing.  The findings of the study may be beneficial to ESL teachers and educators, as it can be as an alternative which can assist them in teaching writing. In addition, it also encourages the pupils to take charge of their own learning. It is suggested that future research should include the perceptions of the pupils and the teachers towards the tool as well.
