This resource offers structured, sentence-by-sentence paraphrasing practice designed to help students build confidence with rewriting text in their own words. Each exercise isolates a specific skill—such as using synonyms, changing sentence structure, adjusting tone, shortening or expanding ideas, and shifting to passive voice—so students can focus on one strategy at a time.
