SCENARIO 1: KINDERGARTEN PHONE SURVEY COMPLETED AHEAD OF IN-HOME VISIT

IF THE SURVEY INDICATES THAT THE CHILD IS NOT EXPOSED TO SPANISH, GO TO SECTION D.

SCENARIO 2: KINDERGARTEN PHONE SURVEY NOT COMPLETED AHEAD OF IN-HOME VISIT

SAY TO THE CAREGIVER: Before I start these games with [CHILD], I have to explain a few things to you. It is very important that [CHILD] completes these activities on his/her own without any help. You may be in the room, but you should be out of [CHILD]’s sight. I know that it can be tempting to make comments or try to help [CHILD], but it is important for me to record how [CHILD] answers all by him/herself so please do not say anything that can influence his/her response. Also, you should know that for research purposes, I can only ask the questions in specific ways. Some of these activities are challenging, and [CHILD] is not expected to get them all correct. All the materials have been cleaned before this visit. Do you have any questions? (ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.)
