TOEFL Reading Task 1 — Spelling Completion

This task measures your ability to process written texts for meaning and form. You will be given one short 70–100 word academic paragraph. In the paragraph, there will be 10 words with missing letters. You will complete the missing letters for each word.

Each correctly spelled word is worth 1 point. There are no part marks.

  • The first letters of each word are shown as a hint — type the missing letters into each blank. Each blank fits exactly as many letters as are missing.
  • Total time: 5 minutes. The exercise auto-submits when the timer hits zero.
  • Spelling and case are not strict, but the full word must match.
