A useful starting point
Three questions for this specific decision.
Assess adult literacy materials. These prompts examine reading friction, useful example, presentation need. Choose only questions your audience can answer. A missing detail can be answered with none; do not assume an issue occurred.
If nothing was unclear or difficult, say so. Skip questions about steps you did not experience; use not applicable where appropriate.
What example was helpful?
Read for useful example. Keep the specific explanation in the respondent’s own words rather than converting it into an unexplained overall satisfaction score.
What presentation change would help?

Before you send it
Check what your wording assumes.
Would you agree that this entire experience was clear and easy?
Which instruction was difficult to read?
The first wording assumes a positive outcome and combines clarity with ease. The revised prompt asks about the concrete situation; respondents may report no difficulty.
A worked interpretation example
From a comment to a practical next step.
Illustrative scenario. These are not customer results.
Keep the finding specific
Instructions contain unnecessary jargon.
Choose an action to test
Use plain-language practice instructions.
Check the experience again
After testing this change—Use plain-language practice instructions.—ask people who encountered the changed arrangement whether this original issue still occurred or did not occur: “Instructions contain unnecessary jargon.” Invite a concrete explanation, including none or not applicable. Compare participant context and sample differences; a before-and-after survey alone does not establish causation.
From question to next step
Make the feedback useful.
Set the decision
Assess adult literacy materials.
Invite relevant voices
Ask after an adult respondent has encountered this specific situation. For draft-copy testing, show the actual material first; accept none or not applicable when the issue did not occur.

Make questions optional where appropriate. If you add a rating scale, label its endpoints, keep one idea per question, and retain a follow-up for reasons. These examples are not a validated measurement instrument.
Before you send it
Questions, answered.
Who should answer?
Adult learners, instructors or adult family contacts who encountered the described learning or administrative activity. Ask only about the step each person actually encountered; voluntary responses are not automatically representative.
What does the first question help explain?
Read for reading friction. Keep the specific explanation in the respondent’s own words rather than converting it into an unexplained overall satisfaction score. It supports this decision: Assess adult literacy materials.
What should I preserve in the second answer?
Read for useful example. Keep the specific explanation in the respondent’s own words rather than converting it into an unexplained overall satisfaction score.
How should I read the third answer?
Read for presentation need. Keep the specific explanation in the respondent’s own words rather than converting it into an unexplained overall satisfaction score. Do not label respondents' literacy levels.
What would a practical follow-up look like?
Use plain-language practice instructions. After testing this change—Use plain-language practice instructions.—ask people who encountered the changed arrangement whether this original issue still occurred or did not occur: “Instructions contain unnecessary jargon.” Invite a concrete explanation, including none or not applicable. Compare participant context and sample differences; a before-and-after survey alone does not establish causation.
