ACE Your Reading Answer Poster
ACE Answer Strategy is a structure to help students answer passage-based, short response questions in a formal style, with using clear reasons and evidence from the text, and to provide concluding statements.
Why use the ACE strategy? This mnemonic device is especially helpful for answering those pesky three mark SATs questions. However, this is perfect for all years groups to prepare before reaching Year 6.
It teaches students to do what good writers do naturally— answering all parts of the question, citing evidence and fully explaining.
A: Answer all parts of the question
C: Cite the text to provide evidence
E: Explain your citation
