Reading is a complex skill that requires many complex processes to work together. In this webinar, Dr. Elizabeth Norton will discuss rapid automatized naming (RAN), an important measure related to reading ability, as well as current research on dyslexia and the brain. RAN seems like a simple task in which we ask an individual to name familiar items as quickly as possible, yet it is a robust correlate of current and future reading ability across languages.
Dr. Norton will address the many questions that educators and clinicians have about RAN what is and isn’t, how to assess it, and what to do if a child has low RAN ability. In addition, Dr. Norton will present on other research linking RAN to reading and the brain, from her Language, Education and Reading Neuroscience Laboratory at Northwestern University. Ample time will be provided for questions from attendees about these topics.
