Rapid automatized naming

Rapid automatized naming - a simple assessment task a child is asked to perform with predictive power of future reading ability. The task involves naming, as rapidly as possible under timed conditions, an array of familiar items (such as objects, colors, letters, or numbers).

Reading Universe is made possible by generous support from Jim & Donna Barksdale; the Hastings/Quillin Fund, an advised fund of the Silicon Valley Community Foundation (opens in new window); the AFT (opens in new window); the Emily Hall Tremaine Foundation (opens in new window); and three anonymous donors.
