Walking pneumonia (also called atypical pneumonia because it's different from the typical bacterial pneumonia) is common in teens and is often caused by a tiny microorganism, Mycoplasma pneumoniae (pronounced: my-co-PLAZ-ma noo-MO-nee-ay).
The cloze procedure is an informal tool for assessing students comprehension. Teachers use the cloze procedure to gather information about readers abilities to deal with the content and structure of texts they are reading.
Teachers construct a cloze passage by taking an excerpt from a book-a story, an informational book, or a content-area textbook-that students have read and deleting roughly every fifth word in the passage. The deleted words are replaced with blanks. Then students read the passage and add the missing words.
