A cloze test can be made out of any piece of writing by simply erasing every fifth, sixth, or seventh number. This is just an example of a cloze test. There are other online or you can make your own. || This test was quite hard for me to take. when using this strategy I would use a much simpler piece of writing. I would also have the student read the paragraph with the words in it and then take our certain words for them to try to fill in the blanks. ||
