[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm trying to figure out why one of my first grader's worksheets on sounds is titled "Cloze the Gap" (the exercise is to fill in blanks in the sentences with words that use the sound combination being taught, like "ch" or "ing." Everything else on the sheet is spelled correctly other than this heading.

Can teachers weigh in and tell me if this misspelling is some kind of intentional thing that a layperson wouldn't know about? I'm not trying to be a jerk, which is why I'm not asking the teacher, but it's really bugging me. There's a copyright on the bottom that says 2009, so this thing has been kicking around for a while. Usually when there's a typo on the children's worksheets I just shrug it off but this one is so ridiculous I'm hoping there's pedagogic intent behind it. [/quote]

The worksheets were probably made by a lady named Cherry Carl, and she was just making a pun.
