Rewordify

            Rewordify (http://rewordify.com/) is a free, online software that helps students improve reading, learning and teaching. The website was created ten years ago by a English teacher named Neil Goldman. He states that, “I created this site to give everyone a different way to learn words. It takes away hard words and replaces them with easy words, keeping as much of the original meaning as possible.” Goldman made Rewordify to break the nonreader cycle of students who does not like to read, hate reading, poor vocabulary, and comprehension.

Rewordify has many features to offer. It can be utilized to simplify challenging English words for faster and better comprehension, to teach words for vocabulary, produce lesson plans for teachers, and help learning outcomes.

Using the simplification feature, individuals can type and enter hard sentences or chapters of a story onto the website and Rewordify will instantly create an easier version for it, creating a better understanding for students. The reworded words will be highlighted, and you can hover or click on it to see the original word. In addition, students can also click on Learning Sessions and it helps with teaching vocabulary. Rewordify finds challenging words and students can select which one they want to learn from the list. The session is a step-by-step process where listening, typing, and reading are done to improve and better understand the new vocabulary words.  In addition, teachers can customize vocabulary word lists for their students to learn. Students can use Rewordify to earn points just by learning new words. Lastly, Rewordify can easily help teachers monitor student’s reading and learning progress. Charts and reports can be used to tell teachers their weaknesses, strengths, and improvements. Overall, it is a free, fast, and safe website that teachers and students can use to improve student learning.
