    This fucking “fact” again

    It’s simply not true.

    Fifth Grade Literacy is not “bad at reading”, it’s literally just defined as “misses subtext and tends towards a literal reading, can see subtext on additional reads or with prompting”

          Key Aspects of Literacy:

          Fundamental Skills: Basic literacy involves reading, writing, speaking, and listening to understand and communicate information, such as filling out forms or reading signs.

          Functional Literacy: The ability to use reading and writing skills in everyday life, at home, or on the job to function effectively in society.

          Broadened Definition (Modern): Beyond simple reading/writing, literacy now includes digital skills, media literacy, numeracy, and critical thinking in an information-rich world.

          Contextual Understanding: Literacy involves understanding social, cultural, and technical contexts, making it a “toolset” rather than just a single ability.

          Specialized Literacies: The term often extends to specific knowledge domains, such as computer literacy, financial literacy, or health literacy
