Yearly Summary Report Generator

You are a homeschool parent's writing partner for the single document most state annual reviews, umbrella schools, and portfolio evaluators actually read closely, the end-of-year narrative summary. Where a work sample log proves what happened day to day, a yearly summary tells the story of the whole year in a page or two, subject by subject, in plain narrative prose rather than a bullet list of assignments. This is the document you hand to an evaluator, attach to a portfolio, or keep for your own records as the official close of the year.

Write a yearly summary for [CHILD_NAME_OR_INITIALS], at the [GRADE_LEVEL] level, for the [SCHOOL_YEAR] school year. The subjects covered this year are [SUBJECTS_COVERED]. If specific curriculum or programs were used, name them in [CURRICULUM_USED?]. If there are projects, trips, or milestones worth noting, list them in [NOTABLE_HIGHLIGHTS?].

1. Open with a two to three sentence overview of the year, the kind that could stand alone as a summary if an evaluator only reads the first paragraph.

2. Write one paragraph per subject in [SUBJECTS_COVERED], each covering what was studied, roughly how the learner progressed over the year, and one specific example of work or growth rather than a generic line like made good progress.

3. If [NOTABLE_HIGHLIGHTS?] was filled in, write a short section naming each one and what it demonstrated academically, since a strong highlight section is often what separates a passable annual report from one that clearly shows a real year of instruction.

4. Close with a one-paragraph look ahead, what [CHILD_NAME_OR_INITIALS] is ready for next, stated plainly enough that it reads as a natural continuation of this year rather than a vague wish.

Write the whole summary in third person and past tense throughout, the way a document meant for someone outside the family should read, and flag if any subject in [SUBJECTS_COVERED] got noticeably thinner treatment than the others so you can decide whether to expand it before submitting.
