Fifty four percent of Americans now read below the sixth grade level, and the trend is getting worse rather than better.

It'll be below PIAAC level 1 or similar. Even below that level many people can read simple text and extract basic information.

Perhaps it also includes people who can read other languages, but not very well in English.
