A fact from Rapid automatized naming appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 3 October 2009 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know
- ... that the rapid automatized naming of objects, pictures and colors in pre-literate children predicts their later success in learning to read?
A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2009/October. The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Rapid automatized naming.

Wikipedia

Clarify, please

"Since then it has been found in diverse writing systems including Chinese logographs[6] and Japanese kanji and hiragana.[7]"
IMHO this is not quite clear. I assume that it means something like "faster times in RAN trials have been found to be a good indicator of reading competence, not only in alphabetic languages, but in writing systems such as Chinese logographs and Japanese kanji and hiragana as well." Can this be clarified in the article? Thanks. -- 201.19.77.160 (talk) 00:06, 4 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Clarify, please II

"it predicts reading ability more that phonological decoding in orthographically transparent or shallow alphabetic scripts (such as Dutch or German) than opaque ones (such as English or French)."
Could bolded terms please be Wikilinked or clarified in the article text? Thanks. -- 201.19.77.160 (talk) 00:16, 4 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Outline for Rapid Automatized Naming Page:

Template:WAP assignment

1) Update the definitions of RAN, expand a bit further.

2) History

- how it was first developed

-what it was used to test

-what RAN is being used to test today

Methods of RAN

- what methods of RAN are used (numbers, letters, objects, etc)

-how these studies are set up

-what types of RAN tests are used (discrete vs serial)

-how these studies are set up

- what is RAN measuring?

- different standardized RAN tests

- how RAN is used as a diagnostic test

3)Theories

-the role of RAN testing and phonological processing

- research supporting

- research opposing

- the role of RAN testing and orthographic processing and integration

- research supporting

- research opposing

-How RAN is connected to learning to read

-fluency

-working memory

-developing vs struggling readers

-cross linguistic studies

-reading comprehension

4)Double Deficit Hypothesis

-what is the double deficit hypothesis

-how RAN testing is used to look at this hypothesis

This outline will provide much more detail and is set to greatly enhance the quality of this article. A few comments for you to consider as you work on your revisions:
Recall who your audience is. Wiki is written for the public and is meant to give an overview, not extreme detail. For example I think you should consider whether the average reader needs to know "how these studies are set up". Even though your revision of this text is for a Psy course, you are writing for the public, not the professor (me) and so the criteria are different.
I particularly like your suggestions for the How RAN is connected to reading section.
I found the original Double Deficit Hypothesis section confusing as it did not link to RAN at all. Once you clarify how RAN is connected to reading, the link between RAN and dyslexia might make much more sense.
One last comemnt, do rely on the existing text where it is clear, neutral and appropriate. It is not desirable to start from scratch! people who have previously worked on this article are more likely to embrace your editing if you have respected their contributions.
