About This Product

BY D. KIM REID, WAYNE P. HRESKO, AND DONALD D. HAMMILL

This unique test measures the actual reading ability of children aged 3-6 through 8-6 years. Items assess knowledge of contextual meaning, alphabet, and conventions, and results are reported as standard scores, percentiles, and normal curve equivalents.

The TERA-3 can be individually administered in 30 minutes and provides the examiner with three subtests: Alphabet, Conventions, and Meaning. Standard scores are given for each subtest, and an overall Reading Quotient is computed using all 3 subtest scores. Standardized on a national sample of more than 1,000 children, TERA-3 provides separate norms for each 6-month interval between the ages of 3--0 and 8--11.
