The RACE writing strategy is a helpful tool for organizing and structuring written responses, particularly in response to reading comprehension questions or prompts. RACE stands for:

  1. Restate the question: Begin by restating the question or prompt in your own words. This helps to ensure that you fully understand what is being asked.

  2. Answer the question: Provide a clear and concise answer to the question or prompt. Use evidence from the text or other sources to support your answer.

  3. Cite evidence: Include specific examples or quotes from the text to support your answer. This shows that you have read and understood the material and helps to strengthen your response.

  4. Explain your answer: Provide a detailed explanation of your answer, using the evidence you cited to support your reasoning. This step allows you to demonstrate your understanding of the topic and provide additional context or analysis.

By following the RACE strategy, you can effectively structure your written responses and ensure that you address all aspects of the question or prompt. This strategy can be particularly useful in academic settings or when writing essays or responses that require a clear and organized structure.
