Rephrase means saying the same idea with different words. Here’s a simple 3-step plan and three short versions made for a 9-year-old:

  1. Spot the main idea: the tram goes fast on rails and cars aren’t blocking it.
  2. Make it shorter by using fewer, clear words.
  3. Choose a sentence that sounds good and keeps the meaning.
  • Tram speeds on rails.
  • Tram zips; no cars.
  • Rails clear — tram races.

Try them out and pick the one you like, or mix words to make your own!
