87.4% graduate high school, then people stop being forced to read books and those who never liked reading get out of practice
I genuinely do not understand why people do not like reading. Im not a super nerd and only read a few books a year but I look at the hours i spent reading those books as some of the best entertainment i've had all year.
It's a time commitment I'd rather fill with masturbation and videogames.

I dare not find out what my reading level is, for the same reason I dare not find out what my IQ is. I don't gain anything by knowing it, and knowing that I'm stupid will only worsen my self-esteem issues.
I feel better assuming I'm roughly average for both measurements.

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.

Easy, just take the elevator to the 7th floor/grade/level whatever you call it in Europe.
That's good news! ... it means they're improving! USA! USA! USA!
Damn this is pathetic. I had a 6th grade reading level in kindergarten.

Hot take but I think this article is hyperbole. Think about it. Half of adults are underachievers. That tracks with most metrics. Your average person is not smart. Intelligence follows a bell curve and it only makes sense that the bottom half is going to be terrible.
Edit: ok just realized this is the meme sub lol.
