The TERA-4 is a direct measure of reading ability in children. Rather than assessing children’s “readiness” for reading, the TERA-4 assesses their mastery of early developing reading skills.

Features and benefits

  • Includes three subtests: Alphabet (measures knowledge of the alphabet and its uses), Conventions (measures knowledge of the conventions of print), and Meaning (measures comprehension of print).
  • A composite, called the General Reading Index, represents overall reading ability.
  • All users now have access to the new optional PC-, Mac-, Chromebook-, and tablet-compatible TERA-4 Online Scoring and Report System via activation codes included in each package of TERA-4 Examiner Record Booklets.
  • Extensive studies of test reliability support the TERA-4’s use with individual students. Average coefficient alphas for the full normative sample range from .88 to .97 for subtests and is .98 for the composite.
