We stopped accepting it in WV because there is no parallel form of the test.
The NRS requires that for pre/post assessment you must use two parallel
forms.

Dear Friends:  I need to know, quickly, about the use of the Slosson Oral
Reading Test in programs that get WIA funding.  Are there states who accept
the Slosson as a viable assessment for NRS purposes, and are there any that
have specifically rejected it and do not accept it for NRS purposes?  Many
thanks.

For the Cause!  Debbie
