They teach you to say the same thing in a new way. This skill is great for writing and talking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These worksheets give you examples and exercises.

Paraphrasing requires you to first understand the meaning and details of a passage. As you practice paraphrasing various texts word-for-word, your overall reading comprehension improves.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Expand vocabulary. When putting a passage into your own words, you need to use synonyms and restructure sentences. This pushes you to use a more extensive vocabulary in order to accurately convey meanings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Develop conciseness. Paraphrasing well means expressing ideas and details clearly and concisely. As you rewrite passages phrase-by-phrase, you train yourself to be more concise with language.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Improve language and style. Learning how great writers express ideas in their own styles will rub off on your own writing. Paraphrasing gives exposure to more writing styles to inspire your own way with words.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Boost information retention. The process of paraphrasing cements details and meanings into your memory. By rewriting the information, you reinforce the ideas<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tips_for_Effectively_Using_Paraphrasing_Worksheets\"><\/span>Tips for Effectively Using Paraphrasing Worksheets<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Using <a href=\"https:\/\/15worksheets.com\/worksheet-category\/paraphrasing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">paraphrasing worksheets<\/a> effectively requires the right approach and techniques. Here are some useful tips:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Preview the original passage &#8211; Carefully read through and make sure you understand the complete meaning before attempting to paraphrase. Identify key details.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Paraphrase small sections &#8211; Don&#8217;t try to rewrite long, complex sentences and paragraphs in one go. Break them into smaller parts that are easier to work with.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use a dictionary\/thesaurus &#8211; Having resources on hand to substitute words will help vary your vocabulary and sentence structures.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Change the sentence structure &#8211; Don&#8217;t just swap out words. Present ideas in new, different formats like changing from passive to active voice.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cite sources &#8211; Even when paraphrasing, the original idea is not your own, so remembering to cite sources is good practice in attribution.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Compare to the original &#8211; Once done paraphrasing, read your version next to the original piece to spot any inaccuracies in conveying the facts and meanings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Edit and improve &#8211; Treat paraphrasing drafts like any other writing &#8211; revise, rewrite and enhance the expression. Use peer\/instructor feedback to strengthen paraphrasing skills.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Creating_Your_Own_Paraphrasing_Worksheets\"><\/span>Creating Your Own Paraphrasing Worksheets<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Creating your own <a href=\"https:\/\/toolv.io\/blog\/how-to-reference-paraphrasing\/\">paraphrasing <\/a>worksheets can be a handy tool for learning.
