Cloze activity

What?

I am learning how to do a cloze activity to help me with my reading

Being able to make logical predictions about what word would fit correctly into a sentence is a successful reader strategy.

So What?

We use the following procedures:

1. Read the whole text so that we can get an overall picture of the text.
2. Re-read the text and think of words that would fit into the gaps. Write them down
3. Look at the word list for this activity and see if I am correct / make changes

P = I need a little help. I prefer to look at the word list rather than have a go to predict the missing words. I have some confidence
