![]() ![]() Rapid automatized naming (RAN) has been shown to be a strong correlate of reading abilities. While these results pertain only to normal readers and are preliminary in nature, they may provide a basis for a clear interpretation of similar studies conducted with both normal and dyslexic readers. In terms of their unique contributions to the variance in word reading, RSN, phonological awareness, and orthographic knowledge were independent of each other. RSN and orthographic knowledge were significantly related, but this relationship was due to the effects of processing speed. Results indicated that no variable in the model could fully `explain' RSN processing speed, but not articulation, contributed to RSN performance. ![]() ![]() ![]() To investigate the relationship of RSN and other variables thought to contribute to beginning word reading (phonological awareness, orthographic knowledge, memory span, processing speed, and articulation), a preliminary/exploratory model of word reading was developed and then tested by path analysis. Even though researchers have established that rapid serial naming (RSN), or the ability to name within a restricted category of visual stimuli quickly, is a significant predictor of word reading, the predictive nature of RSN is not well understood. ![]()
