Paraphrasing is an essential skill for many types of writing, but a difficult one to master. This differentiation bundle is perfect for teachers who teach multiple grade levels or for 4th-grade teachers who have students that are not quite ready for the advanced cards yet and would benefit from some easier practice before moving on.
For younger or struggling students, start with Set 1, which features a different fun fact sentence for students to paraphrase. Paraphrasing a single sentence is a great way to introduce this challenging skill.
When your students are ready (or for older or more advanced learners), move on to Set 2, which features a different informational text (nonfiction) paragraph for students to paraphrase. These paragraphs are ideal for working on this skill because their shorter length will not overwhelm your students, but will still provide plenty of practice.
In addition to the task cards (2 sets of 32 cards each), you will also get challenge cards, 3 different student response options, sample answer keys, and a PARAphrase poster. In addition, all materials also come in blackline versions.

Used this resource for my Grade 4 Online class. Very easy to use and helped me prep my lessons faster and easier. Great to use to teach students to paraphrase since the sentences are just the right length and difficulty.
Dawnell G. –
I love using these! Sometimes I have them write and sometimes I just have them paraphrase to their partner.
Carolyn Putnam –
One of my favorite activities. I have only tried the sentence level.
Jodie B. –
Short and concise paragraphs/sentences that cater for a variety of ages. Would love some reference to other countries in the resource.
Maria Rao –
I use these for my speech sessions often. Love any of Rachel’s task cards, they are great. These are amazing to use with students that need to work on summarizing or paraphrasing/changing a sources words to their own. This helps students see how you can move the words in sentences around and still deliver the same meaning! Highly suggest!
