About these comments
Report Comment Bank by Adam Hale is a free selection of sentences from Adam Hale's report comment packs, with advice on writing each kind of comment. Here is how the sentences were made and what has and has not been checked.
How the sentences were made
- AI-drafted. Each sentence was drafted with AI writing tools, following a detailed style guide for each region: the skills and sample behaviours, the level scale, the grade bands, local spelling and school vocabulary.
- AI-edited. Every sentence then went through an AI-assisted, line-by-line editorial review that removed vague, repetitive, unsupported or age-inappropriate wording.
- Machine-checked. Automated checks cover grammar and spelling (with LanguageTool), pronoun agreement for he, she and they, words that do not fit a level (such as "consistently" for the lowest level), and repeated or near-duplicate sentences.
- Author-checked samples. For Ontario, Australia, ATL skills, UK primary, US elementary, UK secondary, US grades 6-12, EYFS, Scottish primary, New Zealand primary and Curriculum for Wales, the author read a sample of the sentences before release. That is a spot-check, not a review of every sentence. Australian secondary, British Columbia, US standards-based K-5, UK primary subjects, ATL skills ages 11-16, EAL/ESL, Ontario subjects, UK secondary subjects, British Columbia subjects, Scottish secondary subjects and Cambridge Primary and Lower Secondary have not had this check yet; the table below shows the status of each pack.
The writing tips on each page were drafted the same way, with AI tools, and edited for accuracy against the sources named in each pack's style guide. Adam Hale does not claim to be a teacher in any of these systems, and no ministry, board, school or curriculum body has reviewed this content.
