What educators are saying

I teach 8th grade, but this resource is great for my resource students and students who are not yet confidence in their reading/writing skills. This is a great way for them to practice citing evidence and especially explaining their reasoning with an accessible text.
I teach, both, 6th and 7th graders, and must prep them all for the STAAR written response questions. These WS allowed me to have a quick, stressless written-response prompt ready for them, at any time.

This Download Contains:

PRINT

  • Student resource introducing the RACE strategy

DIGITAL

Passages are 6th-7th grade reading level. This ready-to-use printable is great for formative assessments or test-prep, all year long!


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
