Paraphrasing for Grade 5 students represents a foundational reading comprehension skill that bridges understanding and expression, enabling young learners to demonstrate their grasp of text by restating information in their own words. These presentations available through Wayground (formerly Quizizz) provide structured instruction that guides fifth-grade students through the essential process of identifying key information, understanding core meanings, and reformulating content while maintaining accuracy and clarity. The concept explanation format offers visual learning opportunities that break down complex paraphrasing techniques into manageable steps, helping students recognize the difference between copying text and genuinely restating ideas. Through systematic presentation of examples and non-examples, students develop critical thinking skills necessary to extract meaning from various text types while building confidence in their ability to communicate understanding through original expression.
