Teacher Comments on Report Cards

By Leah Davies, M.Ed.

Report cards provide parents with essential information concerning their child’s progress in school. Various formats are used including letter grades, numbers, checklists and teacher comments that indicate how a child is performing in different areas. For each report card period, teachers usually write descriptive comments for every student. These written remarks elaborate on the student’s strengths, and frequently offer ways the child could improve his or her academic work and/or classroom behavior.

Strength In Math

Writing unique and meaningful report card comments takes effort. If only negative statements are written, the parent may feel overwhelmed and thus be unable to help their child. Examples of definitive words that should be avoided are:

• the child will never;
• the child will not;
• the child cannot; and
• the child will always.

Parents are more willing to cooperate if a comment concerning a child’s weakness follows a positive one. So it is more productive to state a student’s strength first, then follow it with your concern – but make sure that is written in a constructive way. For example, you could write, “Bill excels in science,” and then add, “He needs more opportunities to develop his friendship skills.” Or, write something like, “Leslie is friendly and well-liked,” and add, “She would benefit from practicing her reading fluency and comprehension skills.” Teachers need to choose their words carefully since the report card is part of the child’s permanent record.

Examples of Positive Adjectives that Describe Children

Since your comments need to be as specific as possible, avoid using ambiguous words alone such as wonderful, good or great.

Since some parents never attend a parent-teacher conference, a teacher may want to complete and include a copy of the following statement or something similar with a student’s report card.

Sometimes it is difficult to elicit parental cooperation. However, written comments on a report card and completing the above short form might serve to encourage their participation. Due to language barriers or other reasons, parents may be unable to help their child directly (see, “Increasing Parent Involvement in Schools”). However, parents could to be encouraged to provide a quiet place for their child to complete his or her work without television interference or other distractions, as well as a healthy diet and adequate sleep.

Positive comments on a report card can inspire students to live up to their teacher’s observations. For example, if the teacher wrote that the child excels in “Being dependable” or “Shows outstanding sportsmanship,” these statements could become part of the student’s self-image. It is important for teachers to remember that their written words can motivate and challenge their students to be their best.
