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.
2=#N's handwriting is more controlled, and #e makes a good attempt to spell simple words correctly. #E writes in basic, often short, sentences. Longer sentences with more detail should be #N's aim next year.
3=#E imaginative work has some good ideas but #e needs to develop #h vocabulary.

10=#E handwriting is neater and less inconsistent.

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.
