Frequently asked questions
How do I write a good report card comment?
Start with a genuine strength, give specific evidence, name one clear next step, and suggest something practical parents can do at home. Keep it about the whole term, not one test.
How long should a report card comment be?
Most schools use three to six sentences. Check whether your report template has a character limit; Remarkable can warn you when a comment is too long.
Can I use these comments for free?
Yes. Copy and adapt any example. To write a personalised comment for every student in your class quickly, try Remarkable.
