Reading had got ahead from a penalty at the end of the first-half, but it was not until the sixth minute of added time at the end of the game that the Terriers managed to equalise.
Town had fallen to tenth place in the league before the game and maintain that position. Meanwhile Reading continue to occupy a place in the play-off places at sixth.
The Terriers are four points below Reading with just six matches to play to Reading's five.

TransPennine Route Upgrade Delays and new costs at council's Piazza scheme
The Kirklees Council scheme was discussed at a meeting of its nine-member Cabinet at Huddersfield Town Hall on Tuesday (March 24).
There are still proposals to open the new library and public square in late Summer this year, but the food hall is expected to be delayed until after its fitting-out and that is not now expected to be completed until Spring 2027.
Senior council officers asked for an extra £3m to be taken from later phases of the regeneration scheme "to assist with ongoing commercial negotiations", that on top of £1m already approved. The council is looking to lease the food hall to an operator, but fit-out costs are now set to be a council expense.
Kirklees Council has planned the redevelopment of the area around the former Market Hall which has seen the demolition of part of the Market building to allow a new public square to be created in front of the old library building and beside the Town Hall.
The listed part of the Market building with its unique airy roof design and sculptured panels along Queensgate are being retained as part of a new food hall, social dining area and part of the new library. Work inside the conversion of the old Market Hall was revealed at an Heritage Open Day last September.
Rail upgrade consultation for Colne Valley
The Network Rail proposals fill a gap in the multi-billion pound programme to improve the railway over 70 miles between York and Manchester through Huddersfield, and provide station improvements at Slaithwaite and Marsden. The scheme also includes new track, signalling and drainage and rebuilding a number of road bridges to allow clearance for overhead wires for electric trains. The plans also cover the siting of temporary works compounds while the scheme progresses.
Track improvements will include increasing the number of tracks from two to three between Marsden and Huddersfield.
Marsden and Slaithwaite stations would both have access to three longer platforms with a footbridge including lifts.
The consultation continues up to Friday March 27. The Network Rail website features an online consultation room. In-person events have already been held at Slaithwaite Community Centre and at Marsden Mechanics.
