Kaufman Test of Educational Achievement, 3rd Ed.

Enter composite and subtest standard scores to generate an evidence-based narrative covering Reading, Mathematics, Written Language, Sound-Symbol, Decoding, Reading Fluency, cross-domain discrepancy analysis, and IEP-ready recommendations.

📖
KTEA-3 (Kaufman & Kaufman, 2014; Pearson): Comprehensive achievement battery for ages 4–25, widely used for SLD identification and psychoeducational evaluations. Covers Reading (Letter & Word Recognition, Reading Comprehension, Reading Vocabulary), Math (Concepts & Applications, Computation), Written Language (Written Expression, Spelling), and specialized composites for Sound-Symbol, Decoding, Reading Fluency, and Reading Understanding. All standard scores: mean = 100, SD = 15.
Student Information
Academic Skills Battery Optional — Global Composite
Standard score scale: Mean = 100, SD = 15 (range typically 40–160). The ASB is the overall composite across Reading, Math, and Written Language. Enter it if it was derived. At least one composite or subtest score is required.
Global Composite
Academic Skills Battery
Overall Achievement
Comprehensive global composite across Reading, Mathematics, and Written Language domains.
Domain Composite Scores At least one required
Enter any domain composite scores that were derived. Standard scores: mean = 100, SD = 15.
Reading
Reading
Reading Composite
Broad reading ability: word recognition, decoding, comprehension, and reading vocabulary.
Math
Mathematics
Math Composite
Applied math reasoning (Concepts & Applications) and procedural calculation (Math Computation).
Writing
Written Language
Written Language Composite
Written expression quality and spelling accuracy across written language tasks.
Specialized Composites Optional
KTEA-3's specialized composites isolate phonological skills, decoding, reading fluency, and reading comprehension — critical for SLD identification and dyslexia evaluation.
Phonological
Sound-Symbol
Sound-Symbol Composite
Phonological awareness, nonsense word decoding, and letter/word recognition — sound-symbol association.
Decoding
Decoding
Decoding Composite
Nonsense word decoding + letter & word recognition — alphabetic decoding skill.
Fluency
Reading Fluency
Reading Fluency Composite
Word recognition fluency, decoding fluency, and silent reading fluency — automaticity.
Comprehension
Reading Understanding
Reading Understanding Composite
Reading comprehension + reading vocabulary — higher-order meaning-making from text.
