 Cloze Procedure

A cloze procedure is an automatic word deletion process where words are removed from a reading selection. The student predicts the exact word that was removed and replaces it. The student depends on background knowledge, context clues, word usage, and general understandings of the material when replcing the missing words. 

An example of a cloze procedure is included in the file below. //Henry and Mudge and the Starry Night//
