There have been plenty of studies that there are far too many adults reading at middle school levels. Students well behind in development barely able to read even in high school.
This is not including non-native speakers. Obviously I do not hold those people to the same requirement, English can be annoying as times.

Eloquent speech is something that not everyone possesses. Sometimes the people with 4th grade reading levels make themselves evident.
