Paraphrasing
This week students in language groups have been practicing paraphrasing as a strategy to check comprehension. When we paraphrase we retell the story or information in our own words. It is a great way to make sure that we remember what we read or understand directions. When students aren't able to recall information, they can reread or ask the teacher to repeat what was said. Speech/language groups have been challenged to paraphrase silly directions or explain social studies text in their own words. Try it at home!
