About this worksheet
Suits all primary yearsWrite your sentences and mark the word or phrase to hide in each one; the maker prints them with tidy blanks in place of the hidden words.
Unlike a cloze passage, each sentence stands alone, which makes this the right tool for targeted practice: this week's vocabulary, one grammar point, or facts from a topic.
How to make your worksheet
- Write your sentences, marking the word or phrase to hide in each one.
- Choose whether the sheet shows blank lines for the missing words.
- Press Generate and print from the new tab.
The maker lays your own words and passages out as a clean sheet, ready to print on A4.
Common questions
Fill-in-the-blanks or cloze, which do I want?
Cloze for one connected passage testing reading flow; fill-in-the-blanks for separate sentences each targeting a word or rule. Vocabulary lists and grammar drills belong here; comprehension of a story belongs in cloze.
Should I give a word bank?
For younger students, yes, write the hidden words in a box at the top of the sheet before printing (or on the board). Choosing from a bank is a fair first rung; recalling with no bank is the test rung.
