Test of
Early Reading Ability-Deaf or Hard of Hearing - (TERA-D/HH)

This adaptation
of the TERA-2 for simultaneous communication or American Sign Language
is the ONLY individually administered test of reading designed for children
with moderate to profound sensory hearing loss (i.e., ranging from 41
to beyond 91 decibels corrected). TERA-D/HH is also the ONLY individually
administered reading test designed for deaf and hard of hearing children
who are younger than age 8. It has the same format as the TERA-2 (including
equivalent forms) and taps the same constructs: the child's ability to
construct meaning, knowledge of the alphabet and its functions, and awareness
of print conventions. Results are reported as standard scores (M = 100;
SD = 15), percentile rankings, and normal curve equivalents.
TERA-D/HH was
standardized on a national sample of over 1,000 deaf and hard of hearing
students from 20 states. Normative data are given for every six-month interval
from 3-0 through 13-11. Internal consistency and test-retest reliability
are reported in the manual. In all instances, coefficients approach or exceed
.90. Validity coefficients for TERA-D/HH with other reading, language, intelligence
and achievement tests frequently used with deaf and hard of hearing students
are also reported in the manual.
