This document discusses different types of informal assessment: Cloze procedure, probes, and modality testing. Cloze procedure involves filling in missing words in a text. Probes assess a student's ability to write words from pictures or partial words. Modality testing determines a student's preferred learning modality (visual, auditory, etc.) to help with spelling. Examples are provided of a Cloze procedure text and a modality spelling test.
