More (not so) fun facts:
54% of American adults read below a 6th grade level.
21% read below a 5th grade level, which is considered functionally illiterate.
High immigration numbers don't fully explain it either, as first gen immigrants only make up about 1/3 of those with low literacy.
When they say "If you can read a New York Times article" do they literally mean just READ the words and understand them individually, or do they mean read and possess the ability to apply critical thinking skills to what you just read?
I see you've written words that I can read, but I have no clue what you're trying to say... so idk, can't answer your question (I think it's a question at least, there's definitely a question mark at the end)
Vocabulary vs reading comprehension.
