Curriculum Biasing Effects in Standardized and Criterion-Referenced Reading Achievement Tests.
Webster, Raymond E.; And Others
Psychology in the Schools, v23 n2 p205-13 Apr 1986

Bias was examined relative to five commercial reading programs at the third-grade level. Results indicated that the degree of bias varied widely depending on the specific test and program used for reading instruction. (Author/ABB)
