Cloze blog

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

Now What?

I am at the following stage: A = I am independent. I read the text, select words that I feel logically and grammatically fit, and then I use the word list to confirm my predictions and / or make some small changes.
