About missing words (cloze)

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.

Printing

US Letter or A4, portrait: choose your paper size above. Print at 100 percent (actual size). Use "Black and white" for the copier, or "Color" for display pages and mini books.
