I’d want a supplemental study on the reading level of ESL folk in their first language. Furthermore the gauge of literacy isn’t simply knowing how to pronounce words or the alphabet or whatever, it’s a measure of broader skills like the ability to retain and parse information. Reading a graph is also part of general literacy. Someone who could read every word of the first page of a book out loud, but then they’re unable to summarize it, or unable to answer questions or make a response would be someone functionally illiterate.
Someone who’s ESL and has a hard time parsing English, but still able to retain information they read in English, is far more literate than a native English speaking American who reads like a 10 year old child.


Zionists deserve worse but it’s a good start
