Editor's Notes
- Here are the basics of the web site. The site is called rewordify.com. You can get to it from any browser. Just load the browser (you choose: IE, Chrome, Safari, Firefox, etc.) and type rewordify.com. It will work on your computer or your tablet. You don’t buy or install an app, and there’s no username/password needed.
- Here are the reasons for using Rewordify.com. It makes it easier to understand hard text, which means that you’ll save time when you have to read a hard passage, like a paragraph, chapter, or article. It teaches you what words mean in a new way, that’s a lot different from a dictionary. Because it teaches you words a new way, it can help you learn more words than if you just used a dictionary.
- You can use Rewordify.com on any text that you type or paste in, or you can use it on web pages by entering a web URL. Here are some examples of web URLs.
- Rewordify.com is not a search engine. With Google, you enter some keywords, and it finds you websites based on those keywords, but that won’t work with Rewordify.com. If you type in words on the home page, it assumes you want to try to simplify them.
