What educators are saying

These passages have been a wonderful resource to prepare my students for 3rd grade. We work through them together to develop their writing, so that it accurately portrays all of their thinking! We’ve loved this resource!
These were much more enjoyable for state testing practice than the actual ones from our state website of resources. The pages were user friendly and my students never complained once while completing them!

Why use the RACE strategy? This mnemonic device is especially helpful for struggling writers and students with disabilities, but it can also be a helpful scaffold for all students. It teaches students to do what good writers do naturally—restating the question in a complete sentence, answering all parts of the question, citing evidence and fully explaining.

R: Re-state the question

A: Answer all parts of the question

C: Cite the text to provide evidence

E: Explain your citation
