School Readiness and

Parent and Family Involvement in Education Survey



PAR1100. [IF R WAS NOT SCREENER R AND THIS IS THE FIRST OR ONLY INTERVIEW FOR R: Hello, this is (INTERVIEWER). I'm calling for the U.S. Department of Education. We are conducting a voluntary and confidential national study about the educational experiences of children and young adults.]


I'd like to talk with you now about (CHILD). The interview is estimated to take about (25/20/20) minutes.


Age, Relationships, Language. This section is asked of parents of all sampled children.


PAR1140 –

PAR1150. First, I'd like to confirm (CHILD)’s age. In what month and year was (he/she) born?

If year of birth = -8 (Don’t Know), display adult HH members and ask for more knowledgeable parent/guardian respondent.

If none, enter 0, and continue.



Calculate AGE2006 = child's age on December 31, 2006.

Calculate current age for display in PAR1320. If current
age does not match screener age or birth month is
current month, ask PAR1320. If AGE2006 = screener age and birth month is not current month, go to box after PAR1320, PAR1340. If year of birth = -7 or -8 set AGE2006 = screener age and go to box after PAR1320, (PAR1340). If both year of birth and screener age are missing, go to CLS1100.


PAR1320. That would mean that (CHILD) [is (AGE)/turns or turned (AGE) this month]. Is that right?

PAR1360. Now I'd like to ask how all the people in your household are related to (CHILD).



Ask PAR1470 for each household member other than sampled child (for respondent, copy from Screener).
