This research aims to improve the writing skills of grade VI students of SD 200504 Padangsidimpuan through the Classroom Action Research Method (PTK).

In the first cycle, learning focuses on basic writing techniques, with 50% of students able to write structured and 60% achieve KKM. The second cycle used a problem-based approach, resulting in improvement, with 75% of students achieving KKM and improvement in writing quality. The third cycle involves collaborative writing, where 90% of students achieve KKM and show improvement in writing skills. Overall, the implementation of PTK with a problem-based and collaborative approach has proven to be effective in improving the writing skills of grade VI students of SD 200504 Padangsidimpuan.
