“…The investigative efforts of those related above primarily focused on the use of the cloze procedure as a quantitative measure of reading comprehension by considering an exact response comparison between the words supplied by the reader and the words deleted from the text. Efforts to extend this quantitative information to a qualitative appraisal of a reader's performance have included comparisons between deletions and responses which consider language constraints such as semantic and syntactic compatability (Rankin 1957(Rankin , 1959Ruddell 1965;McKenna 1976;Clarke and Burdell 1977;Lopardo and Bortnick 1977;Martinez 1978;Legenza and Elijah 1979;Clarke 1981).…”

The study reported herein was conducted to ascertain the nature of potential between-rater subjectivity in scoring quantitative and qualitative cloze based assessments of reading comprehension. Fifty students were randomly chosen from a group of 456 students used in the standardization of the Cloze Reading Inventory (CRI). As each student took four different forms of the CRI, there were 200 passages each rated by three of seven raters for a total of 600 passages used to determine interrater reliability. The seven raters each had a minimum of five years teaching experience, were from the elementary or secondary level, and were graduate students in a reading specialist program. The intraclass correlation method was employed to derive coefficients from the mean score ratings of the raters for each of the passages, each of the four interpretive values, and each of grades 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11. The results of the repeated measures analysis of variance indicated that interrater reliabilities were generally consistently high across passages, interpretive values, and grade levels.

“…Furthermore, the cloze procedure has been suggested as a means of profiling and categorizing the reading errors of bilingual students (Legenza and Elijah, 1979;Oiler 1972). A cloze test is a reading selection which has been mutilated through deletion of selec tive words and replaced with blanks on which the reader writes what might be considered an appropriate replacement (completion) term.…”

A study of the developmental reading behaviors of 75 second to ninth grade Spanish-English bilingual students was conducted to ascertain a pattern of language difficulties encountered. A 'cloze' procedure called the GAP Comprehension Test developed by McLeod was used. The incorrect responses were categorized into the following classes of errors: 1) Illogical errors; 2) Logical errors; 3) Interference errors; 4) Other errors.A shift in type of error was evidenced between the third and fourth grade levels of reading. Illogical errors, most common in the lower primary reading levels, were replaced in number and percent age by errors in the logical category. The interference error category remained constant. Relatively few of the errors were of an inter ference type, suggesting that commonly held assumptions regarding the influence of L\ and L2 reading are incorrect. The percentage of interference errors seems unrelated to the reader's increased ability to utilize psycholinguistic cues which improve as a function of reading level.
