Summarizing and paraphrasing are methods to recap information from a text. Summarizing involves concisely restating only the most important ideas and main point in shorter form by omitting minor details, while paraphrasing restates all ideas and details from the text in one's own words at a similar length to the original. Both techniques help with comprehending and remembering information but differ in length and how many details are included.
