What Does a Veterinarian Do? Cloze Reading

Use it in a community helpers unit, at a center, with a small group or as a take-home page. Children describe what a veterinarian does to care for animals, use context clues to choose the word that fits each blank and name places where vets work, such as a clinic or a farm.

A short passage about veterinarians with headings that ask what a vet does, where vets work and what makes a good vet. It has 8 blanks, and the word bank holds 8 words: clinic, doctor, gentle, healthy, horses, love, stethoscope and years. Children read each sentence and write the word that fits. The directions on the page read: Read the passage. Fill in each blank with a word from the word bank. An answer key is included.
