Letter Naming Inventory Directions

All unique uppercase and lowercase letters appear once within this
inventory (i.e., first 52 letters). You will need to make a single copy of
the Student Form prior to administering the Letter Naming and Letter
Sound Inventory assessments.
Administration
ReadI will show you some letters on a page. You will tell me the
name of each letter. If you don't know the name of a letter, that's
okay. Just do your best.
When I say Begin, say the name of each letter. Read across the
page then go to the next line (point to demonstrate). Try to say each
letter name. If you come to a letter name that you do not know, I'll tell
it to you. Put your finger on the first letter (guide the student to the
first letter) and follow along with your finger as you say the names of
the letters.
Ready? (pause) Begin.

Three Second RuleIf the student fails to say the letter name after 3
seconds, say the letter name, mark it as incorrect.
Discontinue Rule If the student does not get any correct letter
sounds within the first 10 letters (i.e., 0 out of 10 letter sounds named
correctly in the first row), discontinue the task and record all as
incorrect.
Scoring
Types of potential errors:
1. Incorrect task: Student says the sound of the letter and not
the letter name.
2. Incorrect letter: Student says the wrong letter name.
3. Omission: Student omits or skips (a) letter(s) name. If a
whole row is missed,
each item is counted incorrect.
4. 3-second rule: If the student hesitates for 3 seconds, provide
the letter name and have the student continue with the next item.
