Reliable, Research-Based Measures
Acadience RAN measures are brief and administered individually. They are based on established procedures for creating and interpreting RAN tasks used in decades of research by multiple researchers.
Three Acadience RAN measures available in English and Spanish:
- Objects: Assess a student’s skill in rapidly naming a set of familiar objects.
- Letters: Assess a student’s skill in rapidly naming a set of familiar letters.
- Numbers: Assess a student’s skill in rapidly naming a set of familiar numbers.
Using Acadience RAN
If you are using Acadience® Learning Online (ALO) to administer and score Acadience Reading® K-6, Acadience RAN is included and can be administered and scored on ALO as well. Additionally, ALO serves as the data management system for both assessments and can be used to view and interact with data.
