Quick Tips for Better Report Comments

Lead with a strength — Start each comment with something the student does well before addressing areas for growth.
Be specific — Replace generic phrases like "good effort" with concrete examples: "consistently shows working in multi-step problems."
Match the tone to the audience — Parents read these too. Keep language professional but warm, avoiding jargon.
Personalise the template — These examples are starting points. Swap in the student's name, a specific project, or a recent achievement to make each comment feel genuine.
