Assalamu'alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarokatuh

Praise we pray to the presence of Allah SWT. who have given grace and
guidance so that we can complete the group assignment entitled “Paraphasing
sentences deriving from reading comprehension and developing reading schemes”
on time.

Moreover, the purpose of writing this paper is to fulfill assignments in the

course "Interpretative reading comprehension". In addition, this paper also aims to
add insight into the science of Islamic education for readers and also for writers.

First of all, we think of thanking Muh. Tamrin Am. S. Pettawali, S.S.,

M.Pd. as a lecturer in the interpretative reading comprehension course who has
given this assignment so that we can add knowledge and insight according to the
field of study that I am engaged in.

Then, I realized that the paper I was writing was far from perfect.
Therefore, constructive criticism and suggestions are needed for the perfection of
this paper.

INTRODUCTION

A. Background

Quoting sentences related to reading comprehension and schema

development means repeating understood phrases from reading and enriching
one's reading mindset. This involves breaking down the meaning of a sentence or
passage and rearranging the words in a way that helps deepen one's understanding
of the text. Schematic development, on the other hand, involves the process of
constructing and organizing knowledge and experience in ways that help us make
sense of new information that we encounter in our reading. By actively engaging
with texts and thinking critically about their meaning, we can develop a more
complex and nuanced understanding of the world around us.

B. Problem Formulation

1) What is paraphrasing senteces deriving from reading comprehension &

developing reading schemes?

C. Purpose of Writing

The purpose of writing this paper is to increase our skills in paraphrasing

sentences derived from reading comprehension & developing reading schemes.

A. Paraprhasing sentences deriving from reading comprehension &

Developing

Sentence paraphrasing is one of the important reading skills. This involves

understanding the meaning of a sentence and restating it in different words. The
ability to paraphrase sentences allows one to understand more complex texts and
re-express ideas in their own words. To develop sentence paraphrasing skills, it is
important to keep reading and develop a reading scheme. The reading scheme is
the mental framework used by the reader to understand the text. By developing
strong reading schemes, one can more easily understand texts and paraphrase
sentences more effectively.

The development of reading skills is something that is very important to

master. One of the reading skills that needs to be mastered is the ability to
understand and paraphrase sentences. Paraphrasing is a way of re-expressing
information in different words but still maintaining the same meaning. In reading,
the ability to paraphrase sentences is very important because it can help us to
understand the information we read better. In addition, the ability to paraphrase
sentences can also help us avoid plagiarism when we write papers. Therefore, it is
very important for us to develop our reading schemes and ability to paraphrase
sentences so that we can become better readers and better writers.

Reading comprehension is an important skill that enables individuals to

understand written texts, gather information, and make sense of the world around
them. However, many people experience difficulties in understanding, either due
to a lack of vocabulary, poor reading skills, or an inability to identify the main
idea of a text. One way to increase comprehension is through paraphrasing, which
involves repeating sentences or passages using different words while still
retaining the same meaning. Paraphrasing not only helps the reader understand the
text but also supports the development of a reading scheme.

Reading schema refers to the mental framework that readers use to

understand and edit text. These schemas build on the reader's prior knowledge and
experience and help them make connections between new and existing
information. When a reader paraphrases a sentence, they are essentially creating a
new representation of the information in their own words, which can help them
internalize the information better and build stronger reading schemes.
 Paraphrasing is particularly useful when reading complex texts, such as
academic articles or technical manuals, where the language can be dense or
difficult to understand. By breaking text into smaller, more manageable sections
and restating information in simpler terms, readers can better understand content
and identify main ideas.

To develop paraphrasing skills, readers must begin by identifying the main

idea of a sentence or passage and then breaking it down into smaller parts. They
can then restate each passage in their own words, making sure to retain the
original meaning. It's important to note that paraphrasing shouldn't involve
copying or simply changing a few words in a sentence. Instead, it must involve a
deep understanding of the content and the ability to restate it in an accurate and
concise way.

B. The importance of paraphrasing sentences

Sentence paraphrasing is an important skill that helps in the development

of reading schemes. Reading schema is the mental framework that readers use to
understand and interpret written text. This involves being able to identify main
ideas, supporting details, and the relationships between them. Paraphrasing
sentences is an effective way to develop a reading scheme because it allows the
reader to break down complex sentences and understand their meaning. It also
helps in retaining information from the text, which is very important for effective
comprehension.

C. The impact of paraphrasing sentences on reading comprehension

Paraphrasing sentences can have a significant impact on reading

comprehension. This can help in increasing students' understanding of written
texts, especially those that are complex or challenging. Paraphrasing allows
students to break down complex sentences and understand their meaning, which
can aid in comprehension. It can also improve students' memory of texts, making
it easier for them to remember information. In addition, paraphrasing can help
develop critical thinking skills, because it requires students to analyze and
interpret texts.

D. Strategies for teaching paraphrasing skills

Teaching paraphrasing skills requires a combination of strategies that

assist in developing students' understanding and critical thinking skills. One
effective strategy is to use a graphic organizer, such as a mind map, to help break
down complex sentences and identify key ideas. Another strategy is to teach how
to identify context clues in students' texts, which can assist in understanding the
meaning of unfamiliar words. In addition, teachers can use guided practice
exercises that involve parsing complex sentences and restating them in their own
words.

CLOSING

CONCLUSION

Sentence paraphrasing is an important skill in reading comprehension and

developing reading schemes. This involves understanding the meaning of a
sentence and then restating it in your own words without changing the original
meaning. These skills can help readers better understand complex texts and
communicate their ideas effectively. To paraphrase effectively, readers must first
understand the meaning of the sentence, then identify key ideas and restate them
using different words and sentence structures. This process may be challenging,
but with practice, readers can become proficient at paraphrasing and improve their
reading comprehension. Sentence paraphrasing is an important skill for
developing reading schemes that aid in comprehension. This allows students to
break down complex sentences and understand their meaning, assisting in
memory retention and the development of critical thinking skills. Teachers can
use a combination of strategies, including chart organizers and guided practice
exercises, to teach paraphrasing skills effectively. By mastering the skill of
paraphrasing, students can improve their reading comprehension and develop the
skills necessary to succeed in academic and professional settings.
