Thanks Kriston and Dazed. The cloze exercises are sentences with a blank for one missing word. An exercise sheet from Enchanted Learning will lead off with a 'word bank,' listing of all the missing words, followed by a series of sentences. The exercise is to select the correct word from the 'bank' for each sentence and write it into the blank. I like these, because they give by DS bite-sized writing practice. I think they would be even better, though, if they were combined with a short, two-three paragraph narrative, which employs the words listed in the 'word bank.' This would give the student a way to reason out the meanings of new words as s/he does the exercise.
I recall exercises like this were included in the SAT tests in my day (long ago!), and wondered if there is are books of there with these things in them.
