Literal question
Can (name) read at least four simple, popular words?
Interviewer instructions
Circle the code corresponding to the response. A 'Yes' response means that the child can read at least four simple, popular words while a 'No' response means that the child can only read one or two, or none at all.

Survey Coordinators: During fieldwork training, together with the interviewers and other fieldwork staff, try to create a list of locally used simple and popular words (from poems, lullabies, or songs). This may help them to give examples if necessary, while asking this question.
