In detail

Understanding and using report card comments

Combining subject, level and behaviour

The generator works along three axes. The level runs from very good to sufficient and decides how strongly a sentence acknowledges an achievement or names room for development. The areas separate work and learning behaviour, social conduct and learning progress, because a report reports on these fields separately. The subject is optional: English, maths, general studies, a modern foreign language, PE, art, music and religion or ethics add subject-related sentences, because reading skills are described differently from ball control. The combination produces a coherent paragraph rather than a loose pile of sentences – and the suggestions under the text field let you extend it further.

From draft to report document

The generated text is a draft, not a finished report. Read it through once, replace the placeholder with the right name and add at least one concrete observation from your lessons – only that sentence turns the text into a statement about this one child. Then copy it into your report form or print it and take it to the report conference. Watch the field length of your form when pasting: narrative assessments often have a character limit the generator does not know about. The counters under the text field show words and characters.

Kind wording, protected data

A report is an administrative act and is read closely at home. The comments therefore describe observable behaviour in lessons and the next learning goal, not a child's character; comparisons with classmates or assumptions about the home do not appear. Even so, check the draft against your own reporting rules – report format, grading scales and the point at which primary school starts giving grades are set by whoever regulates reporting for your school, and inside Germany that differs from one federal state to the next. On data protection, everything stays with you: the generator runs entirely in the browser, the name you enter is never transmitted or stored, and it is gone when you close the page.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. The generator is free and needs no sign-up. You can freely edit the generated phrases and use them in your reports.

From primary school to secondary level. There are phrases for work, social and learning behaviour as well as subject-related wording for the common subjects.

No. The generator runs entirely in your browser. Names and texts are not sent to a server or stored.

Yes. Select several areas and the generator assembles the matching sentences into one coherent paragraph. Below the text field you will find further comments to click: one click appends a sentence, a second removes it again. That way you decide the length yourself.

The sentences are deliberately kept general, because report format, grading scales and the switch from narrative assessment to grades are regulated differently from one school system to the next – inside Germany alone, differently in every federal state. Take the draft as a starting point and check it against your own reporting rules and the agreements at your school.

Technically yes, sensibly no. A report should describe one individual child, and an unchanged comment sounds identical for 25 of them. Replace the placeholder, delete what does not apply and add an observation that fits only this child – that is why the text field is freely editable.
