Subtests
Test Utility & Words of Caution
Scoring
- TERA-3 includes three subtests
- 1. Alphabet: measures the child’s knowledge of the alphabet.
- 2. Conventions: measures the child’s familiarity with the conventions of print, print conventions, and knowledge of punctuation, capitalization, and spelling.
- 3. Meaning: measures the child’s ability to comprehend the meaning of words, sentences, paragraphs.
- The test provides information on a child’s abilities in comparison to the average for their age and grade.
- It allows you to measure and compare different aspects of reading ability. The results help determine the weaker aspects of reading ability and serves as a springboard for further investigation.
- TERA-3 is a diagnostic intervention tool in that a child who scores poorly on its subtests may be eligible for speech and/or language services.
- Administrators should understand that TERA-3 is meant as a starting point for understanding the child’s reading abilities, not a singular source for definitive diagnosis.
- On all three subtests, the child gets a point for each item they get correct, and zero points for items answered incorrectly
- The sum of the points at the end of each subtest reflects a raw score
- Raw scores and the age of the child are used to compute their percentile ranking, standard scores, percentage score, and their age/grade equivalent
