    In 1995 I volunteered with a literacy agency in Memphis TN and learned then that the adult illiteracy rate in the US was around this same rate. It's been awhile so I don't remember the exact number but this is close enough that I think it's fair to say it hasn't changed in nearly 30 years. Same for the number on sixth grade reading levels.

    It says a lot about our cultural and political priorities that we've not been able to improve these numbers. https://mstdn.social/@DemocracyMattersALot/113467910852523422

      from Democracy Matters :verified:
      As of 2022, approximately 21% of adults in the United States are considered illiterate, meaning they lack the ability to read and write at a functional level. Additionally, about 54% of adults have literacy skills below a sixth-grade level. #StayInSchool #EducationIsFreedom
