How it Works

Unlike some websites, The Comment Generator does not create random reports but rather helps you quickly write highly personalized reports. When teachers are writing report card comments or comments for assignments by hand, they start sounding quite similar over time. Many teachers develop comment templates that they use to help them get started. The Comment Generator works like this but makes it much easier. You define what you want your reports to say, and The Comment Generator helps you put them together, put the students' names into the reports, and make sure the pronouns are correct.


⮚ Start by using our comment editor to create a comment bank that works with your subject, for your school board. The comment editor will help you insert placeholders - words that will be replaced with things such as names, pronouns or input fields.

Insert: Insert Student's Name Insert Pronoun

⮚ The Comment Generator will now allow you to select which comments to use in your reports while filling in the placeholders.
