    Introducing the WJ V Rapid Letter Naming Test

    Early literacy development depends on strong cognitive and linguistic processing. However, reading difficulties, including dyslexia, can be difficult to detect without targeted assessment. Research shows that rapid naming tasks play a key role in identifying students at risk for reading challenges, making early intervention possible.

    That’s where the WJ V Rapid Letter Naming Test comes in! This quick, research-based tool measures a student’s ability to recognize and name letters, providing valuable insights into reading fluency and potential literacy difficulties. By pinpointing challenges early, educators can guide students toward stronger reading skills and long-term success.

    Why Choose the WJ V Rapid Letter Naming Test?

    1. Efficient and Timed Assessment

      In just one minute, measure how quickly and accurately students can name letters—a key predictor of reading fluency and early literacy success.

    2. Broad CHC Classification

      This test assesses processing speed (Gs) and reading-related naming skills (Gr), both closely linked to reading development and early detection of potential reading challenges, including dyslexia.

    3. Adaptive Testing Process

      The platform automatically assigns a score of 0 when students do not meet continuation criteria, preventing unnecessary testing and ensuring efficient administration.

    4. Clear and Simple Scoring

      The streamlined scoring process captures accuracy and speed, translating raw data into meaningful insights that can guide literacy instruction and early intervention.

     

    How It Works

    Students are presented with letters in successive rows and have one minute to name as many as they can. The test platform tracks both accuracy and speed, calculating a total score that helps educators determine which students may need additional reading support. Because difficulty with rapid naming is one of the early markers of dyslexia, this test provides critical data to help identify students who may benefit from further evaluation or intervention.
