Having to evaluate a child's reading skills can sometimes be
a difficult task. You must be very careful when you are making
comments on your student's report card. In order to accurately
assess your student's schooling skills, you will want to make
notes throughout the school week on your student's progress or
lack-thereof. A good rule of thumb when writing these comments
is to make sure to refrain from using too many negative words,
and always attempt to put a positive twist on a negative issue.
If this is not possible, write the comment with as much sensitivity
as possible, and also follow up this comment with a suggestion
to improve the situation. The entire purpose of these comments
is to give the parents of your student's a better understanding
in how their child is performing in various subjects. Since letter
grading alone does not give the parents enough information pertaining
to their child's progress, these report card comments are pivotal
for this purpose. Remember to always keep your comments short
and directly to the point. When you have to write many comments
take a moment to go through your notebook and re-read the comments
you have made throughout the reporting period about this particular
child. This is very important because you will not want to confuse
a child's behavior with another student's, or forget several main
comments you wish to inform their parents.
