RAN CHART-Fluency and Processing Speed: VC/CVC

Rapid Automatic Naming (RAN)

Description: VC (Vowel-Consonant) and CVC (Consonant-Vowel-Consonant) words measure how quickly and accurately learners can recognize and decode these word patterns. 4 pages!

RAN assesses reading fluency and processing speed by testing how fast learners can identify and produce these words.

For processing speed, RAN shows how efficiently the brain retrieves information—faster naming reflects better cognitive processing. Strong RAN skills enhance overall reading fluency and word decoding.
