NSW Stage 2 (Years 3-4): 399 report comments and an A-E comment picker for Excel and Google Sheets. Type first names, pick an English grade and a maths grade (A-E), and the picker builds three comments for every student: English, mathematics and a general comment. Strengths come from the focus areas you taught this semester, and each English and mathematics comment ends with a next step and a strategy. Then read, edit and paste.
Written for the NSW English K-10 (2022) and Mathematics K-10 (2022) syllabuses.
What’s included:
- 120 English comments across all 8 focus areas: Oral language and communication, Vocabulary, Reading fluency, Reading comprehension, Creating written texts, Spelling, Handwriting and digital transcription, Understanding and responding to literature
- 165 mathematics comments across all 10 focus areas, from Representing numbers using place value to Chance, plus Working mathematically
- Strengths for A, B, C, D and E and next steps for A/B, C and D/E in every focus area
- 30 subject openers, 48 openings and closings (Semester 2 and Semester 1; Positive, Steady and Supportive) and 36 work-habit lines
- The comment picker for up to 40 students and a 37-page PDF of every comment with character counts
How the picker works:
- Mark the focus areas you taught (Y/N); the picker rotates through them so neighbours get different strengths, or you pick one yourself
- Word and character counters with your school’s limit for each comment (defaults 150, 150 and 200 words, as on the NSW public school report template); a comment over the limit turns red
- 1-3 strengths and 1-2 next steps per subject; the general comment (about 60 words) takes its tone from the grades; optional Effort (H/S/L) picks the work-habit lines
- Each comment avoids repeating a phrase or a sentence opening, so the sentences read naturally
- Semester 2 now, Semester 1 in June; He/She optional; Try another and Variation reshuffle the wording
- Add your own comments to the Bank tab
Written for NSW classrooms: plain English for parents and carers, third person, strengths first, kind and specific D and E comments, Australian spelling. Works in Excel (offline): no add-ons, no sign-ins, and names stay in your own copy.
