Teaching Reading Comprehension to Upper Elementary Students

Helping upper elementary students develop strong reading comprehension skills is essential for their academic success. Whether you're a homeschooling parent or a classroom teacher, teaching students how to paraphrase and summarize texts improves their understanding and retention.

One of the most effective reading strategies for upper elementary students is paraphrasing—restating information in their own words. This skill encourages active reading, enhances comprehension, and prepares students for more advanced literacy skills.

At Literacy Mobility, we offer a Reading Strategies: How to Paraphrase Presentation & Worksheets resource designed to make teaching paraphrasing easy and engaging. This digital download includes:
✅ A step-by-step presentation on paraphrasing techniques
✅ Practice worksheets to reinforce key concepts
✅ Engaging reading passages aligned with Common Core standards

By integrating structured reading strategies into your homeschool or classroom curriculum, students develop confidence in tackling complex texts.
