MESSAGE FROM THE AUTHOR: "These comments are divided into two groups; the 'S1' prefix are for the first semester or mid-year reports, all others are end-of-year comments. Mid-year and end-year comments use intentionally different language. I really encourage you to use these comments to create your own reports at this site. It saves me literally hours, is easy to set up, and quick to get used to! I've already had a number of teachers ask me how I completed my reports so quickly, and my head of school, who is tasked with final edits on our reports, was very impressed with my lack of errors! I work at a primary/elementary school in Australia, and teach all subject areas in my classroom. The comments are written with my Year 3 (8-9 year old) class in mind, but I imagine them to be suitable for Year 2-5 (ages 7-11). I'm making more changes, so make sure to check back for the new version!"

This would help #m to increase #h work output and gain the practice #e needs to complete work within the given time. 4=#E is becoming more confident at counting and using the four operations. 5=#E has a sound understanding of many basic mathematical concepts. #E can accurately calculate the answers to multiplication tables #h recall speed is consistently improving. 6=#E can accurately calculate the answers to multiplication tables and just needs to keep practising to build up speed of recall. 7=#E still requires concrete materials for most of the tasks and is not yet able to complete work that requires abstract thinking. 8=#E has worked very hard to master multiplication tables and completes quizzes in record time which helps #m to work efficiently and recognise patterns. 9=#E is working hard to fill the gaps in #h learning and is just beginning to work more confidently. #H ability to work out multiplication facts is slowly improving. 10=#E is becoming more confident in counting and using place value. #N still needs to do most of #h work using concrete materials to establish the concepts. #E is working hard to master #h multiplication tables and needs to keep practising to build up speed and accuracy. 11=#E has made a commendable effort to master #h multiplication facts and completes the quizzes in good time. This skill has boosted #h confidence and has enabled #m to work efficiently. COMMENTS: S1 Maths YR3 3 Number2 1=Sometimes #h reading comprehension skills are not strong enough to enable #m to interpret word problems.

COMMENTS: S1 Maths YR3 5 End 1=With further practice next semester #h performance across all strands should improve. 2=With further practice next semester, #e should be able to lift #h performance in the #MathStrand strand. 3=With further practice next semester, #e should be able to lift #h performance in the #MathStrand and #MathStrand strand. 4=#N enthusiastically attacks every task and completes work in the given time. 5=With continued effort, #N should be able to improve #h performance during the next semester. 6=#N is an enthusiastic worker and with further practice #h results should improve next semester. At times, #N demonstrates evidence of deep understanding. 7=#N is an enthusiastic worker and with further practice #h results should improve next semester. 8=#N is an enthusiastic worker and always tries to do #h best. 9=When #e applies #s, #N appears to be a very capable mathematician. 10=#N is making steady progress in each of the strands and #e will become more confident as the year progresses. At times, #N demonstrates evidence of deep understanding. 11=#N is progressing well in each of the four strands and will continue to build on this skill base as the year progresses. 12=With continued effort, #N will consolidate #h learning and develop greater confidence in each of the strands.

DID YOU KNOW? You can also import comment files in the, Teachers Report Assistant format. There are 1000s around the web. School Report Writer automatically converts them. YOUR EXISTING COMMENTS ARE SAFE: When you upload, you will be shown the comments you are about to import. You will be told if names are already in use and you can pick-&-click which comments to add to your comment bank. USE 'PLAIN TEXT' (.txt) FILES ONLY: Import files must be 'plain text'. The easiest way to create one is to download a comment file from our site and open it on your computer. On most systems it will automatically open in a plain text editor. If you make changes and save, the file should automatically be saved as plain text. On PCs it will usually open in NotePad. On Macs, usually TextEdit. In Word, and other word processors, use 'save as' (see Word File menu) and then choose file type: 'text only/plain text'. ADDING HELPFUL NOTES: Lines starting /* are for notes (like this line). They are ignored when files are imported. You can add notes anywhere in the file. Blank lines are also ignored and can also be included anywhere. COMMENTS AND LISTS: Files contain groups of comments and lists. Each group should start with either: COMMENTS: your-comment-name-here or LIST: your-list-name-here

/* List names are 2-30 characters long and contain /* only letters, numbers, '&', hyphens and NO SPACES. /* /* Comment names can include spaces, and any other /* characters except: < > \ # (max length 50). /* /* Each group may include up to 20 numbered lines, e.g. /* /* COMMENTS: Science Yr7 project work /* 1= #N's work on #Science-topics was excellent. /* 2= #N gave an inspiring #Science-topics presentation. /* 3= #N received a well-deserved A+ in #Science-topics. /* 4= etc... /* /* LIST: Science-topics /* 1= Heating and Cooling /* 2= Light and Sound /* 3= Exploring Magnetism /* 4= Changing Earth /* 5= etc... /* /* REMINDER... lines beginning /* are for notes. /* So to import the two science examples above, /* you would need to remove the /*, otherwise /* the lines would be ignored when imported. /* /* /* NEED MORE HELP? email: support@SchoolReportWriter.com /* - we'll be happy to assist you. /* /* www.SchoolReportWriter.com /* The FREE ONLINE school report writing software & school report card comments bank.
