RACE is a strategy used to help students organize their thinking when writing a text dependent, open response answer. I have used this strategy in my class for over three years in grades second through fourth and saw a lot of improvement in my students’ mastery of writing open response answers. Their answers went from short, incorrectly citing evidence, beginning with “because” to full answers with evidence, explanations and transition words.

RACE is a writing acronym used to help students write open response questions:

R-Restate question
A- Answer question
C- Cite evidence
E- Explain answer and how evidence supports your answer
