## What's a "cloze score" and "reading level"?

**Cloze** is a deletion test invented by Taylor (1953). The **36.91** score, above, means that roughly that 37% of the words could be deleted and the passage could still be understood. So, a
higher cloze score is more readable. They "range from 58 and above for the easiest passages to 10-15 and below for the most difficult" (Chall & Dale, p. 75).

**Reading level** is the grade level of the material, in years of education. The scale is from
**1** to **16+**.
