20=#E has a good use of sentence punctuation, though more work is needed, especially on the use of speech marks. #H handwriting is clear, and #e has made a good start with cursive script.

COMMENTS: English - Writing (3)
1=#E has tried hard to master the basics of sentence punctuation, though #e tends to write slowly, and sometimes does not finish #h work in the time available. At times, #e will lack control over #h handwriting and this means #h letter formation is poor.

12=#E has gaps in #h knowledge, due to extended absences, and will need considerable reinforcement of basic skills if #e is to improve on #h current level of literacy.
13=#E is producing writing that uses complete sentences, and #h punctuation is more accurate. #E writes slowly and this means that, at times, #e does not get through all that #e needs to.
14=To improve #h writing, #N needs to organize and plan #h stories before writing.

/*    You can also import comment files in the,
/*    Teachers Report Assistant format.
/*    There are 1000s around the web.
/*    School Report Writer automatically converts them.
/*
/*
/*    YOUR EXISTING COMMENTS ARE SAFE:
/*
/*    When you upload, you will be shown the comments
/*    you are about to import. You will be told if names

/*
/*    USE 'PLAIN TEXT' (.txt) FILES ONLY:
