Reading Age 6 to 9 years. Interest Level 7 to 10 years.
The Cloze Pegs series has proved very popular with teachers since its launch. The other titles are:
1046 Life In Tudor Times
1047 Victorian Britain
1048 Britain Since 1930
1051 How Romans Lived
1052 Life In Ancient Egypt
Each of the photocopy masters provides differentiated passages of cloze-type procedures with cross-curricular links suitable for pupils working at Levels 2 and 3 of the National Curriculum in reading.
Each topic is covered in two pages and allows six levels of difficulty. Although the passages in the book are history based, teachers wishing to use the books simply as language support, will find the passages sufficiently interesting to use independent of a history lesson. Each title costs £14.30. Series of 6 books costs £83.94 - code 1054.
Below are two sample pages from the latest 'Cloze Pegs' book. Like the others in the series this photocopy master consists of A and B pages on various topics. The same picture is on both pages. However, the text is smaller on the B page and there is more information. By simply cutting the two pages it is possible to have six levels of differentiated work.
Please note that the quality of the printing has deteriorated during the transfer to the web page.
