R.A.C.E. Strategy Practice: Animals

R.A.C.E. Strategy Practice: Animals is a writing resource that provides students repeated practice with the R.A.C.E. response strategy. This strategy scaffolds students to restate key information from a text, answer all parts of a question, cite text evidence, and explain their answers using grade-level vocabulary and conventions. The resource includes 6 activities centered around informative passages about animals. After reading each passage, students respond to open-ended comprehension questions by applying the R.A.C.E. strategy. As students complete the activities independently, teachers can monitor comprehension and writing skills. This resource helps build the foundations for clear, structured writing through consistent practice across multiple topics. With its engaging animal theme and focus on an essential writing skill, R.A.C.E. Strategy Practice: Animals prepares upper elementary students for academic writing success. The resource is easily assigned digitally through Google Classroom.
