  This article discusses the negative effects of over-emphasis on preparation for reading tests. "... allocating increased instructional time to prepare students for non-content-oriented reading tests effectively withholds opportunities for meaningful content learning for school-dependent children across grades 3-8. In turn, the resulting lack of curricular preparation of such students for high school content courses is likely a major contributor to the magnification of the “black-white” test gap from elementary to the secondary levels."
