Make Cloze Worksheets for Reading Advancement

The Cloze Worksheet Creator provides educators with an easy way to generate cloze tests for their students and is part of a suite of tools, Vocabulary Worksheet Factory, that offers a complete solution for the advancement of vocabulary skills.

A cloze test is a comprehension exercise involving a text with certain words deleted and needing to be replaced. This is what a cloze test looks like.

Taking and passing a cloze test is dependent on a person's ability to utilize context and knowledge of vocabulary in order to identify the correct words that belong in the deleted passages of a text. For more on Cloze tests, please see Cloze Test in Wikipedia.

With the Cloze Worksheet Creator you can take any passage of text and turn it into a cloze worksheet in just a few simple steps:

Step 1: Open Vocabulary Worksheet Factory and select the Cloze Creator which will generate a blank worksheet page to start with.
