Report Card Comments K-8 (US) + Picker

US edition, Grades K-8: 690 editable report card comments and a spreadsheet comment generator (the picker) for Excel and Google Sheets. Type first names, choose a level for each area, and the picker builds a different comment for every student. Then read, edit and paste.

What’s inside:

• 690 comments for Kindergarten to 8th grade: 230 per grade band (K-2, 3-5, 6-8), that is 210 across 9 areas (Reading, Writing, Math, Science, Social Studies, Speaking & Listening, Work Habits, Behavior & Social Skills, Effort & Growth) plus 20 openings and closings
• Every area has Excelling, On track, Needs support and Next step comments, and every band has openings, closings and end-of-year closings
• One comment picker for up to 40 students (Excel .xlsx; opens in Google Sheets). Choose a band per student: handy for multi-grade classes, specialists, intervention and ELL teachers
• A 41-page PDF of every comment with character counts, to browse or print

What makes it different:

• Pronoun-free: comments use the name (or “your child”), so one comment fits any child; pick He or She per student if you prefer
• New wording each term: set Term to 2, 3 or 4 and every student gets different comments from last time
• Few repeats: students with the same choices get different comments until that choice’s 6-10 comments are used up; Variation and Try another reshuffle
• Character counter: turns red above your report system’s limit (you set it)
• Next steps, many with a quick home tip for families
• Private and simple: everything is calculated inside your own copy; the file sends nothing anywhere, needs no add-ons and no AI tool
• Add your own comments to the Bank tab and the picker uses them at once
• Standards-based report cards: Excelling = Exceeds (4), On track = Meets (3), Needs support = Approaching or Beginning (2-1)

For US schools and international schools that follow an American curriculum. The wording uses US grades and spelling.

About the comments: drafted with AI assistance, then edited, reviewed and checked by the creator for grade fit, kindness and clarity. Please read and edit every comment so it is true for your student.
