The adult reading level is not determined by what level most adults read at. The level most adults read at is the “mode”. (At least iirc, median vs mode vs mean always gets me)
The adult reading level is determined by academics and whatnot. Im not sure if its just one org, NAAL for example, or if multiple orgs exist with varying definitions of adult level reading. But yea, the level of literacy an adult is expected to have with proper help or education is what they are talking about.
Don’t get me wrong, you got the premise for a good joke or maybe even sitcom/movie tho.
This is an oxymoron. Technically it’s the 6th graders who read like adults, since specifying 54% of adults causes them to be the standard here.
