6th Grade English Language Arts Report Card Comments

ELA report card comments should address reading and writing separately when possible. A student may be a strong reader and a developing writer — bundling both into one comment obscures what parents need to know. Name specific skills and use language that translates to home practice.

Strong Performance

"[Name] is a thoughtful reader who makes meaningful inferences and supports them with evidence from the text. [He/She/They] consistently engages with complex texts and contributes insightful ideas to class discussions."

"[Name]'s writing this marking period has shown real sophistication — clear thesis statements, well-chosen evidence, and strong voice throughout. [He/She/They] takes revision seriously and their final drafts reflect that effort."

"[Name] demonstrates advanced vocabulary and uses language precisely and intentionally in both writing and discussion. Reading and writing across genres continue to strengthen these skills."

Making Progress

"[Name] is developing stronger reading stamina and comprehension. [He/She/They] is making progress with inferential questions and is learning to support answers with textual evidence."

"[Name] has shown improvement in writing organization this marking period. Paragraph structure is becoming more consistent, and [he/she/they] is working on connecting evidence more explicitly to [his/her/their] thesis."

"[Name] is building reading fluency and confidence. Continued daily reading at home — 20 minutes at [his/her/their] independent reading level — would make a significant difference."

Needs Support

"[Name] is working to strengthen [his/her/their] reading comprehension, particularly with inferential questions. We are practicing using context clues and re-reading strategies, and I would welcome a conversation about how to support this at home."

"[Name] is developing [his/her/their] writing skills, with a current focus on organizing ideas into clear paragraphs. We are working on this skill daily, and I encourage journaling or free writing at home to build fluency and confidence."

"[Name] shows effort in reading and writing. [He/She/They] would benefit from additional practice with [specific skill]. I am available to discuss targeted strategies we can use together."

Tips for ELA Report Card Comments

✓Separate reading and writing feedback when possible — they are distinct skills with different development trajectories

✓Recommend a specific home practice rather than 'read more' — 20 minutes of independent reading at home is actionable; 'work on reading' is not

✓Use the student's name throughout — it signals that the comment is individualized, not generic

✓Avoid jargon (inferencing, scaffolding, phonemic awareness) — use plain language parents will understand

Frequently Asked Questions

A student is a strong reader but a weak writer. How do I write a balanced comment?

Address them separately: 'Emma is a strong and engaged reader who makes thoughtful inferences. In writing, she is developing paragraph organization and learning to connect her evidence more explicitly to her thesis.' This gives parents an accurate, specific picture of both dimensions.

How do I write a comment for a student who is significantly below grade level in reading?

Be specific and honest without being alarming. Name what they can do, what they're working toward, and what support is in place. If a referral or evaluation is being considered, that conversation should happen separately — the report card comment is not the right place.
