What is R.A.C.E.S?

A - Answer the question
C - Cite text evidence
E - Explain your thinking
S - Summarize
Each prompt includes:
An informational or fiction story on topics like St Patricks Day, Earth Day and more
A colorful illustration to accompany each story and immerse students in the content (or a B&W version to save on color ink)
2 differentiated response sheets practicing restating, answering with pictures, and citing text evidence
Simply read a story aloud and have students complete the matching response sheet at their level. Or, allow students to read independently. Choose between the two stages depending on your students' familiarity with R.A.C.E.S.
Also included are a set of full color R.A.C.E.S. posters to display as visual reminders for students.
The prompts seamlessly build writing skills with restating, answering, and evidence-based writing using engaging March content. With 30 total prompts featuring spring themes, you'll have materials for every day of March!
