Elementary and K-2 report card comments: tone and examples

By ReportRemarks Team·Updated 2026-01-08

What works best for K-2 comments

Elementary and K-2 report card comments should be short, warm, and easy for families to understand. Aim for 2-4 sentences that describe:

  • A clear strength
  • One area to grow
  • A simple next step

Example comments (elementary / K-2)

Reading

Maya is building confidence with sight words and reads familiar texts with growing fluency. She enjoys reading aloud and is beginning to retell key details.

Math

Jayden counts accurately and recognizes patterns. He is learning to explain how he solves problems and benefits from visual models and guided practice.

Behavior

Sofia is kind and respectful with classmates. She follows routines and is learning to stay focused during independent work time.

Tips for teacher-friendly tone

  • Use plain language families can understand.
  • Keep feedback specific and positive.
  • Mention effort and participation, not just scores.
