Abstract:
The relation of reading rate and rapid automatic naming (RAN) for pictures was investigated for 31 third graders. Reading rate was measured as the number of seconds required for reading aloud a third-grade passage. Rapid automatic naming was assessed with the RAN portion of the Woodcock Johnson III Tests of Cognitive Abilities. A moderate correlation of -.61 between the sets of scores suggests RAN assessment may be useful in screening for reading deficits in third-grade children.
