BTW, that description applies to 51% of the survey population.

However, 87% of that 51%-group 'described themselves as being able to
read or write English "well" or "very well."'

Only 7% of that group 'said they get a lot of help from family members
or friends with everyday prose, document, and quantitative literacy
tasks.'
