While Jeantel’s reading level was not above that of a third grader last summer, she has since turned her life around, undergoing intensive tutoring and graduating from high school this spring.
Which means she got up to the fourth grade level.
I didn’t know there were any requirements to graduate from high school.
Note also they didn’t mention what reading level she’s up to.
My cousin’s daughter recently graduated from high school. She posted on FB for ‘everyone please read my book!!!’. I tried. It was too painful. Two chapters of bad grammar, bad sentence structure, bad spelling, and just plain old awful thought continuation. It is written at about a fifth grade level. I can’t believe she actually graduated.
Which means she got up to the fourth grade level.
While dealing with High School grads in the Air Force I learned most adults read on a 7th or 8th grade level.
