You simply click on letters, words or phrases in the grid to fill the highlighted gap in the text. To choose the highlighted gap, just click on whichever gap you want to fill.

ClozePro provides a range of exciting and stimulating activities for learners of all ages and abilities and across all subject areas.

Activities are incredibly easy to set up - just copy and paste text into ClozePro and then take out every seventh word, or specify the number of words to remove - it only takes a few clicks. Or you can be more selective and highlight the exact text you wish to remove. This could be words, phrases, or groups of letters.

Use text from your children's current topic work, or simply copy text from a web page! Whether you're teaching primary or secondary school pupils, or pupils with special needs, ClozePro can enhance and reinforce teaching and learning.

ClozePro provides structured reports for you to track a child's progress in the activities, including information on the prompts used and the attempts made.

ClozePro also comes with high-quality software speech so children can hear the words in the grid, or the activity text, before they answer. You can also use speech voices for other languages - see our audio products section.

ClozePro comes with the Crick Picture Library to illustrate the activities. You can also use your own pictures. See our graphics & symbols section for additional picture libraries.

There are a wide range of accessibility options for people who cannot use a mouse or keyboard. We can also provide a wide range of access devices.

The flexible design and layout features of ClozePro ensure that children are using the software at the most appropriate level.

Special needs
With speech and picture support, ClozePro is ideal for any special needs context. Activities can be differentiated easily and tailored for specific needs. ClozePro is also switch accessible for people unable to use a keyboard or mouse.
