title: An educational/remedial approach for language delayed children using children's storybooks.
abstract: This study explores the use of a modified cloze procedure in assessing a child's oral comprehension. It encourages the speech pathologist and special educator to use this procedure in a diagnostic and therapeutic context with children who are developmentally delayed. Its routine use broadens the role definition of the educator as a skilled evaluator and trainer in grammatical decoding and subsequent vocabulary development.
