Article: [senco-forum] Cloze

I'll third that on Developing Tray.  Its strength is the facility to set up 
partially deleted text that you write yourself, so you can focus on 'reading 
for meaning' and / or on particular letter strings.  Used in this way, it 
isn't really cloze because the deletions aren't random or 'every nth word'.

That said, compared with its predecessor for the BBC micro, I find it quite 
a slog to tailor it as I really want it; and I don't find the presentation 
of the text very easy on the eye, particularly two horizontal lines (= ) for 
each deleted character in the 'preset' texts.  (It wasn't much to look at, 
but I still yearn for that old BBC program...and 'Brick-Up')
