5 Strategies for Simplifying Report Cards MOOR.COM
1. Employ the sandwich feedback technique:
Always begin with a positive comment and end with a CONNECT
WITH US
positive comment. This approach can help parents receive
any negative feedback with the understanding that you
“see” their child and are approaching his or her learning
with a “growth mindset” and not criticism.
2. Highlight areas of growth
Every student has areas of growth throughout the school
year. Find an area he or she has improved on and
mention it. It could be in a field of study such as reading CATEGOR IES
comprehension, fluency, math facts, handwriting, asking Classroom
important questions or a personal attribute such as Strategies
persevering, helping others, leadership in the classroom,
Common Core
etc.

Report cards are used to show parents what students have
learned, areas they excel in, and areas for improvement.
Although report card grades reflect how well a student is
performing against a set of standards, I would refrain from
any comparisons on report cards. Every student matures and
develops at a different rate, and it is important not to focus on
how well children compare to their classmates, but rather to
highlight how they are excelling in their personal goals/growth.
