Cloze The Story

In this worksheet, students read a short narrative about a community parade and then complete a cloze-style summary by filling in missing words. They must use their understanding of main ideas and key details from the passage to select accurate and meaningful responses. The activity reinforces comprehension by requiring students to recognize important information rather than recall minor details. Students must also ensure that the summary makes sense grammatically and logically, strengthening their ability to synthesize text. By comparing the full passage with the shortened version, learners develop skills in summarizing and identifying central ideas. This worksheet supports careful reading and attention to sequence, characters, and events. It also helps students strengthen vocabulary recall and contextual awareness.
