Methods+03--Cloze+Procedure



=A cloze is a text that has words taken out of it. Students can either fill in the blanks that are left with appropriate, logical responses, or teachers can read the full text and have the students fill in the blanks based on their oral comprehension. In the latter case, the cloze is somewhat of a spelling test. In the former case, spelling does not have to count. =

Here is a cloze taken from The House on Mango Street.
