The aim of this bibliography is to provide a reference on the cloze procedure for the practitioner and the researcher. The selection of material was done on the basis of (1) the importance of the source as a contribution to cloze research, (2) the extent and the usefulness of the source's bibliography as a guide to related research, (3) the implications for practitioners, (4) the suggested possibilities for future research using the cloze procedure, and (5) the ease with which the original source could be obtained. The sources used in the bibliography have been arranged into four categories: general references, methodology of cloze construction, use of cloze as a measure of readability, and use of cloze as a teaching strategy. No attempt has been made to include every available article dealing with the cloze procedure, but the author hoped the reference would be inclusive enough to provide sufficient information for an extensive review of a particular area.

"Once upon a time, on a beautiful island that stood at the center of a great big lake, there lived in the heart of a kindly old oak tree a dear little squirrel family. There were three in all; father, mother and fluffytail and they were just the happiest family one could imagine." So begins the tale of little Fluffytail (whose tail was very fluffy indeed!) and her many adventures. A fun little story. - Summary by Phil Chenevert
