What does the Cloze procedure require students to do during instruction?

The Cloze procedure is an instructional strategy that involves providing a passage of text with certain words omitted, requiring students to fill in the blanks with appropriate words. This approach helps assess and enhance students' comprehension and vocabulary skills. By asking students to fill in missing words, they must engage with the text more deeply, considering context clues and their existing knowledge to determine what fits best in each blank. This active participation encourages critical thinking and reinforces understanding of the material.
