The main purpose of the SAAL and SALS samples was to enable states to produce reliable direct state estimates of literacy levels for all scales, at all levels, and for their major subgroups. The larger sample sizes in these states were also beneficial in producing generally more precise state and county indirect estimates of the percentages of adults lacking Basic Prose Literacy Skills (BPLS).
