Abstract	Rapid automatized naming (RAN) is strongly correlated with reading fluency. A substantial part of this correlation is ascribed to the serial nature of the task. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that the left-to-right and downward scanning direction of reading and RAN may partially underlie their relationship. 107 Grade 6 Greek children were assessed on RAN digits and objects, a reversed-direction version of RAN digits, and word- and passage-reading fluency. The correlations of regular RAN with reading were not larger than those of RAN backward, ruling out visual scanning as an explanation of the relation between RAN and reading. (As Provided).
