6 Key points to remember when writing report card comments:

• If a child is having difficulty, say so.
• Add something you have done to help and/or something you will do to help in this area.
• Also provide suggestions for something the parent can do at home to help.
• Always say something positive about the child.
• Specifics are much better than generalities.
• Avoid meaningless cliche’s like “I enjoyed having ____ in my class”.
