This resource introduces students to the seven roles of the reader as a framework for engaging with fiction and non-fiction texts. Each role is explained clearly and paired with sentence stems and prompts to help students structure their thinking and responses.
What's included:
Classroom display posters - one per reading role, colour and black & white versions
Student task cards (4 per page) - individual reference cards with the role, purpose, sentence stems and a response format guide
RACE strategy extended response tool - a structured template for writing detailed, evidence-based answers using the Restate, Answer, Cite, Elaborate format, in colour and black & white
The task cards are designed for students to use independently during reading lessons, small group work, or as a reference during novel studies.
The RACE tool supports both short text excerpts and longer novel responses.
