To make the comparison concrete, here are data from the National Assessment of Adult Literacy (NAAL), which measures the English literacy of adults across the United States. Prose literacy, defined in the study as the ability to "search, comprehend, and use information from continuous texts," is categorized into four levels: below basic, basic, intermediate, and proficient. Proficient, the highest level, is defined as "reading lengthy, complex, abstract prose texts as well as synthesizing information and making complex inferences."

 

Seems like Arabic level 4 is higher than English level 4?
