The "Test Development Notebook" is a resource designed for the preparation of tests of literal comprehension for students in grades 1 through 12. This volume contains 260 multiple-choice cloze exercises taken from textbooks in social studies, and the accompanying answer key. Each exercise carries the code letter of the section to which it belongs. The code letter is followed by the difficulty level of the passage as determined by application of a readability formula. Supplemental, small-print codes on the exercises give additional passage information as explained in SPPED Form 86, the "Handbook." The "Handbook" is the guide to the "Test Development Notebook," and users should review it before starting to work with the multiple-choice cloze exercises in this volume. (Author/BW)
