Report Comments (or "Report Card Comments" if you are from the U.S.)

Save hours writing report comments (or “report card comments” if you are from the U.S.) by using these polished, pre-written sentences for year 1-7 (grades K-6 in the U.S.). These 14 pages of editable comments for reports cover social skills, personal responsibility, and academics for students at grade level, below grade level, and above grade level.

FEATURES

• Comments include strengths, areas needing improvement, recommendations for how to improve, and what the teacher will do to help.
• Statements that parents could misunderstand (“Jenny is working on her reading comprehension”) are avoided in favor of clear, unambiguous language (“Jenny receives extra help to improve her reading comprehension”).
• Language that some parents might not know, such as “decoding,” “inferring,” and “math facts,” are defined within the comments.

SAMPLE SENTENCES (“X” REPRESENTS THE STUDENT’S NAME)

• In math, X has benefited from extra practice in a small math group and one-on-one with the teacher.
• While reading, X should remember to predict, ask questions, visualize, and make connections to personal experience.
• X socializes easily with peers; however, he/she needs to avoid doing so when he/she should be working.
