New! Print cloze sheets for rewordified text

You can now print cloze (fill-in-the-blanks) sheets for rewordified text. This is a fun reading comprehension activity and it's also an effective formative assessment for reading comprehension.

Once you rewordify some text, you'll see a new button, "Print Cloze Activity," in the Learning Tools:

When you click it, you'll get a printout with a word bank, and the original text with underlines replacing the original hard words, like this:

Word Bank:

halcyon, imp, homestead

The ____________ view was beautiful to the ____________, 

who wondered when he would see his _________________ again. 




Check the "include key on printouts" for a teacher or a teaching assistant version.

NOTE: When you click the "learn" link on a web page, Rewordify.com extracts all the hard words from the web page into Rewordify.com to help students learn. Of course, the cloze activity doesn't work well in that case. It works best when you enter English sentences.

Try it out now! Copy-paste this text into the home page and see how it works:

The halcyon view was beautiful to the imp, who wondered when he would see his homestead again.

Good isn't good enough

We're adding smarter abilities to our Rewordifying Engine. It can now change how a word or phrase is reworded based on the part of speech of the surrounding words.

For example, the word noodled is reworded to played/thought if a preposition comes after it. Take a look at these three sentences:

The designer noodled up some color choices for her client.
The programmer noodled with different ways to make his site work better.
I am serving noodled potatoes for dinner.

To see how these sentences are reworded, click this icon:

We're constantly improving the site this way, including adding more words and phrases on an almost-daily basis.

Learn better, from better rewordings

Rewordify.com now rewords difficult language in a more natural-sounding way.

The site identifies the part of speech of all difficult words based on how they're used in sentences, and rewords them accordingly.

Example 1:
For example, this sentence uses the word brooding as a verb:

There's no sense in brooding about poor grades in English class.

That sentence will be reworded to:

There's no sense in sadly thinking about poor grades in English class.

Example 2:
This sentence uses the word brooding as an adjective:

Now there's a way to help a class full of brooding English students.

That sentence will be reworded to:

Now there's a way to help a class full of quiet and sad English students.

This rewordifying improvement happens because we've created an accurate part of speech tagger that tries to do its best to figure out how each word you enter is used in a sentence. Keep in mind that no part of speech tagger is perfect, and there will be instances where the site doesn't get it right. We are constantly reviewing the site to improve it, of course.

If you see a mistake, please let us know, and enjoy using the more-accurate Rewordify.com!
