Results The results showed that the average writing score of upper elementary students, including 4th, 5th, and 6th grade, is lower than relative mastery and is limited and somewhat weak (M = 12.65). Discussion It can be concluded that students' writing is as weak as their reading and perhaps the imperfection is rooted in their reading weakness. As a suggestion, it would be better to teach writing, apart from the psychological approach toward teaching, using other approaches and paradigms such as cultural-social approach and the following theories as for example activity theory. Also, it is sugesssted that the learning environment design based on such approaches.
