Missing words (cloze)

Sentences with one missing word and a word bank in which every word fits only one sentence.

About this worksheet

Children read each sentence and choose the word from the box that fits. The words in a box are all different kinds (a naming word, a plural, an action word in the past, a describing word ...), and each sentence has a clue such as two, yesterday or very, so only one word fits.

Choose grades 1 and 2 or grades 3 and 4.
