A website that modifies, simplifies, and “rewordifies” text. It allows you or students to enter a piece of text and then choose what level you want to rewordify (modify) it to between levels 1 – 5. You can then choose from a list of activities to go along with the words you’ve selected.
Many texts are written at a comprehension level higher than what some students’ are capable of reading without direct support, but this tool can help. Rewordify reduces frustration and improves comprehension by maximizing time spent reading versus dictionary research. The Site’s browser app (bookmarklet) also extracts most web pages to Rewordify.com for learning in one click.
Provided you have access to the internet, Rewordify doesn’t require student information for their accounts and can be used without an account. All that’s required is that the user copy or write the text into the provided box, and then it is modified to a more appropriate reading level, which is great for struggling readers or beginner readers trying to comprehend content. For example, an English Language Learner in a Secondary Science Classroom can read about CRISPR (see examples below!)
