Based on your knowledge of the respondent, choose the card with the language in which the respondent is likely to be able to read if she is literate. Show the first sentence on the card to the respondent. Give respondent enough time to read the sentence. Do not rush her.
Record whether the respondent cannot read at all (1), read only parts of the sentence (2), or able to read the whole sentence (3). If the respondent asks for the sentence in another language and you were provided a card with sentences in that language, show the respondent the appropriate card. If there is no card with sentences in the language required, circle “4” and specify the language. If the respondent cannot read at all, ask if she has a vision problem and encircle “5” if she says she cannot read because of vision problem. Otherwise, encircle “5” if she says cannot read because of vision problem. Otherwise, encircle “1”.
It is important to avoid the problem of having other respondents in the household overhear the sentence being read. Subsequent respondents in he household might be able to repeat the sentence when they are interviewed, even if they are unable to read. If there is a second eligible respondent in the household, show her the second sentence on the card. Show the third respondent the third sentence on the card, and the fourth respondent the fourth sentence. If there are more than five respondents, start again with the first sentence on the card.
