Since some teachers or districts use the acronym RACE and others use ACE, I included separate files with the same instruction but different acronyms for this foundation skill.

If you are looking for RACES, there are supplement materials that can be used along with RACE: RACES anchor chart, interactive page for “S” and RACES, and RACES charts to use with the passages. Please Note: This is supplemental, so use the RACE file along with the supplemental materials. It is PDF only.
