ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Cloze test

So, imagine you have a story with some missing words, and you have to fill in those missing words with the right ones so that the story makes sense. This is called a cloze test!

It's like a little game where you have to use your reading and vocabulary skills to figure out what words could fit in the blank spaces.

For example, if the story said "The boy went to the store to buy some __________," you might guess that the missing word is "candy" or "juice" because those are things you can buy at a store.

Cloze tests are used to help people practice their language skills, and they can be a lot of fun! So next time you see one, give it a try and see how many blanks you can fill in correctly.
