Is it true that frequent standardized testing improves students' reading comprehension?
Partly. One peer-reviewed article states that research finds frequent testing improves students' learning outcomes generally, but it does not address reading comprehension specifically. Other sources indicate standardized reading tests measure rather than improve comprehension and that test anxiety depresses comprehension test performance, so the evidence only partially bears on the claim.
