The Early Reading Skills in Hindi (ERS-H) is a standardized assessment tool developed to measure the sequential acquisition of Hindi reading skills in children from Grades I to VIII. Adapted from the "Early Reading Skills" by Rae & Potter, it specifically addresses the transparent nature of Hindi orthography to help identify deficits in children suspected of having Learning Disabilities (LD). The tool evaluates various core competencies, including perceptual discrimination, phoneme-grapheme correspondence, blending, and structural analysis. Designed for one-to-one administration by professionals such as Speech-Language Pathologists and Special Educators, the test provides a comprehensive profile of a child's ability to process written language.
