You can always do a "pros and cons" kind of thing. This wouldn't work so well with skipping or misreading words. But when it comes to the arts or sports, I usually ask my kids to analyze their *own* performances rather then telling them what *I* think. In fact, if they ask me what I think, I turn it back on them and tell them right upfront that I do this because it matters more what they think about how they did than it does how anyone else feels about their performance.
But mainly I ask because I like to see how they view themselves. If their vision isn't realistic (either too + or too -), I like to steer them toward seeing both their strengths and their weaknesses. I think it's really an important skill to learn to see one's self realistically, both the good and the bad.
Just a thought...
