This study is a needs analysis study in the first phase of the design and development approach (DDR) founded by Richey and Klein (2007). The purpose of this needs analysis study is to identify the need for the development of nursery rhyme module in essay writing or level two students in primary school. The study was conducted quantitatively using the survey method. The first phase involves needs analysis using a questionnaire conducted on 285 teachers in 5 states to see the needs of modules in teaching and learning sessions. The reliability of the questionnaire was relatively high which was based on Cronbach Alpha a = 0.98. The questionnaires consist of 8 sections approximately 72 questions. The survey data were analysed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) by mean value. The results of pilot test were Part A(M=3.809), Part B(M=3.766), Part C(M=3.945), Part D (M= 4.000), Part E(M=4.090), Part F(M=4.272), Part G(M=4.187) and H(M=4.6000). The findings of this study show that there is a need for researchers to develop a module. It is hoped that the nursery rhyme module can be used by teachers to increase fun learning for students to write in English.
