Cloze Reading

Students were practicing cloze reading skills today during our Language Arts period.  First they read their article/story aloud with a partner.  Then they read it to themselves.  Next, they went through and highlighted any words they still didn't know.  We waited until this point to do this as we discussed that many times we learn words in context after rereading so gave ourselves time to see if this would happen while reading our articles/stories.  Then, the students proceeded to work on activities based on their readings.
