Rapid Automatized Naming (RAN)

This details a brief, specialized assessment designed to screen students in kindergarten and first grade for potential reading difficulties, including dyslexia. By measuring how quickly and accurately a child can name a repeated set of familiar objects, letters, or numbers, this tool provides educators with a powerful “early warning” indicator that works alongside other literacy measures to identify students who may need targeted intervention.
