    Abstract: This study which assessed pupils' proficiency in spelling, capitalization, punctuation, and subject-verb agreement, underscored the significance of strong writing skills in academic development. Further aimed at proposing a writing skills enhancement program, this paper included 17 respondents from Callagdao ES and 27 respondents from Namnama ES, totaling 44 participants. This descriptive research revealed that birth order and the number of siblings studying do not significantly impact the pupils' sentence construction abilities, while the mother's occupation influences punctuation proficiency. Conversely, the father's occupation does not show a notable effect on the learners' competence in this area. Although family dynamics may play a role, the study suggests that parental occupation has limited influence on the pupils' proficiency in sentence construction; hence, parents are encouraged to engage in language practice at home to support their children's learning, complementing classroom instruction and enhancing language skills. Teachers are advised to implement collaborative learning experiences to foster teamwork, communication, and mutual learning among students. Regular assessments and feedback on spelling, capitalization, punctuation, and subject-verb agreement are also recommended to monitor progress and identify areas for improvement. Moreover, enhancement program tailored to address the specific difficulties encountered by learners may be implemented.
