Cloze • A procedure which uses the technique of deleting words from a passage according to a word count formula • After the passage is presented to the class, students insert words in the blanks of familiar language patterns.
Set Up • Select a self-contained passage of length appropriate for the grade level of students being assessed. • Leave the first and last sentence in tact with all punctuation. • Use a word-count formula to select words of omission.
Use • To identify students’ knowledge and understanding of the reading process • To determine which cueing systems readers effectively employ to construct meaning from print • To assess the extent of students’ vocabularies and knowledge of a subject • To encourage students to monitor for meaning while reading • To encourage students to think critically and analytically about text and content
