9th Grade Writing Report Card Comments

Writing report card comments are most useful when they name a specific genre (narrative, opinion, informational) and a specific skill within that genre. Generic writing comments ('is a good writer') don't help parents understand their child's progress or support growth at home.

Tips for Writing Report Card Comments

✓Name the genre: 'opinion writing' is more specific and useful than 'writing'

✓One concrete home recommendation (daily journaling, writing prompts) is worth more than a general encouragement

✓Note the revision process — students who revise thoughtfully develop faster than students who produce and submit without reflection

✓Avoid generic phrases like 'is a creative writer' — name what specifically makes the writing creative or strong

Frequently Asked Questions

My student has good ideas but poor mechanics. How do I balance that in a comment?

Lead with the strength (the ideas) and name the target (mechanics) with appropriate specificity: 'Maya's writing is imaginative and her narratives show genuine creativity. She is developing her grammar and punctuation skills — particularly comma usage — which will allow her strong ideas to come through more clearly.' This is honest and forward-looking.

How do I write about a student who refuses to write?

Start with what you do observe — topic selection, discussion of ideas, any pieces they did complete. Name the avoidance factually and constructively. A report card comment is a starting point; this student likely needs a direct conversation with the family about the underlying cause.
