Literal question
Turn the page so the child is looking at the first pair of numbers. Make sure the child is looking at this page. Say: Look at these numbers. Tell me which one is bigger. Record the child’s answer before turning the page in the book and repeating the question for the next pair of numbers. If the child does not provide a response after a few seconds, repeat the question. If the child seems unable to provide an answer after repeating the question, mark a ‘Z’ for the answer on the appropriate row on the questionnaire, turn the booklet page and show the child the next pair of numbers. If the child does not attempt 2 consecutive pairs, say: Thank you. That is ok. We will go to the next activity.
