RACER is a popular strategy used in both reading and writing to help students comprehend and respond to text. The acronym stands for Restate, Answer, Cite, Explain, and Review. When using the RACER method, students are taught to restate the question, provide a clear and concise answer, cite evidence from the text to support their answer, explain how the evidence supports their answer, and finally, review their response for accuracy and clarity. This approach helps students to develop critical thinking skills, improve their writing and reading comprehension, and effectively communicate their ideas. It is commonly used in classrooms as a tool to help students structure their written responses and ensure that they are providing thorough and well-supported answers.
