"My students were really struggling with the RACE strategy. I started by using one of these as a guided model. The rest were used as practice. I also liked that it came with anchor charts!"

"These passages are great for RACE practice. The passages are short, but give enough "meat" to write a RACE paragraph."

Description

These RACE Writing Strategy 3rd grade practice worksheets have writing prompts and examples for 3rd grade that will help students master paragraph writing using text evidence. The RACE strategy is great for writing practice, and includes a writing checklist. RACE Strategy poster included!

This Download Contains:

  • Student poster introducing the RACE strategy
  • Example passage and RACE response
  • 10 printable passages and short response questions
  • Suggested answers for each passage and grading guide

Passages are written at a 3rd grade reading level. These ready-to-use printables are great for formative assessments or test-prep!


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 learning how to write a paragraph.

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

I love this practice worksheet to give students the opportunity to practice writing using the RACE Strategy. It's so easy to use. Just print and it's ready to go. I like that the passages are short so it can be done on their own in a 15 minute time window. I use this for my writing station during small group time.
