Tiered Cloze Activity for Differential Learners
Turn any passage into a genuinely differentiated fill-in-the-blank activity — without writing three separate versions. This offline, self-contained HTML tool takes a single passage and automatically produces Easy, Medium, and Hard printable copies, each with a different level of scaffolding.
Just type or paste your passage, mark the words you want blanked, and the generator builds all three levels from that one entry:
- Easy: word bank provided, plus the first letter of each answer
- Medium: word bank provided, no letter hints
- Hard: no word bank at all, and blanks are a uniform length so word length isn't a giveaway either
What makes this different:
- One passage, one word list, three ready-to-print levels — no duplicate content to write
- Works for any subject: reading passages, science explanations, historical summaries, vocabulary in context — anything you can write a paragraph about
- Add as many passages as you like to build a full worksheet or multi-part assessment
- A single combined word bank at the bottom keeps the page clean, even with several passages
- Shuffle the word bank order any time so it's not a straight answer key
- 100% offline and private — nothing leaves your computer, no student data collected
- Totally reusable: build unlimited cloze activities all year long
Great for: reading comprehension practice, science and social studies vocabulary, sub plans, morning work, differentiated centers, and RTI/small group instruction.
How it works: Download the single HTML file → open it in any browser → type your passage, marking answers like **this** → pick a tier → print. That's it.
