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.

Paraphrasing is a hard skill to learn and these task cards are so perfect for explicit instruction and independent practice of this skill. Will definitely continue using this resource.

We needed to work on paraphrasing for a CA Mission report so that they were not plagiarizing research information. This resource was the perfect one to use to introduce paraphrasing. My students had some creative ways to rewrite the sentences. Thank you!

Fantastic resources which provided lots of support and challenge depending on which activity used. I love using activities that are ‘the same but different’ which builds confidence and competence.

Great resource to teach or reteach how to rephrase sentences. We used it to help us not just copy what we learned on the internet.
