Difference Between Reading and Language Scores in Terra Nova 3
By Inderbir Kaur Sandhu, Ph.D
Q: What is the difference in the Terranova3 between the reading and language scores? My child is at 98 in reading and 51 in language. The report says there are "no resources" to help with language "at this level." .
A: Reading and Language are clearly two different tests in a battery of tests. It is very possible that a child scores very high on reading but lower on language as they test different abilities. I believe the comment would be a standard one and may not translate to what it means literally.
It is best for you to approach his teacher to help make sense of the scores with a complete breakdown to help your understanding. It is not possible to interpret based on a single comment without reviewing the complete score. Good luck.
