We listened to Mrs Yollis' students tell us about making good comments:


1. Compliment the writer. Everyone likes nice things said about their work.
2. Add some factual information.
3. Make a connection. Tell the writer your experiences of the same event.
4. Ask relevant questions. This makes the writer want to write more.
5. Proofread the piece for the writer.
