Motivational phrases:
Best accompanied with SPECIFIC instructions for improvement - and delivered via the "sandwich" method: a positive comment, then the "negative," then finish with an upbeat, positive comment, e.g.:

"Try again, John. You're great at ELA. Maybe you can use those skills to help you with your word problems here in math class - think of them as stories. You're good at comprehension."

  • Try again
  • Don't give up
  • I have faith in you
  • Next time you'll do better
  • Need help? I'm here
  • You can do this, just practice.
  • Extra time on this subject will help - I know you'll put the effort in to succeed
  • Let's talk about this - together we can improve your grade - I know you can do this
