[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Former teacher here.....

As many have stated, the [b]close [/b]technique is used often in teaching.  Cloze is not misspelled.

OP - when presenting this sheet to the students, did the teacher explain the use of the word “Cloze” in the title?
He/she may have explained to students the meaning of this word and your child didn’t convey that information to you.

I think the thing that bothers me here is that too many people have chosen to criticize the teacher, and education in general, instead of doing a simple google search to discover that the teacher was not in error.  [/quote]

As we have determined, cloze is not misspelled. However "close technique" is not the correct term for the worksheet.

I did not criticize the teacher, MCPS, or education in general. I did criticize the use of a pun on a worksheet for 6-year-olds. A parent should not need to Google terms for 1st grade lessons.

You seem to be confused about your role here. You're not in an oversight capacity of the teacher and the school.[/quote]

No parent NEEDED to Google cloze for their DC to complete the worksheet. Only a parent looking at the worksheet and obsessed with the idea that the teacher or MCPS made a typo would focus on the z anyway. Parents concerned about reinforcing reading comprehension just had their DC complete the activity and moved on.[/quote]
