QUESTION STEMS ON LARGE AND SMALL BROWSERS:
QUESTION STEMS FOR ITEMS THAT ARE DISPLAYED TOGETHER IN GRIDS ON LARGE FORMATS (SUCH AS A

SHOWN ON A SCREEN FOR MOST GRIDS (SOME GRIDS HAVE MORE ITEMS). ON MOBILE, QUESTIONS IN
GRIDS ARE PRESENTED ONE AT A TIME. IF THERE IS A BREAK OFF OR TIMEOUT IN THE MIDDLE OF GRID
QUESTIONS, AND SOME OF THE GRID QUESTIONS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED, THE REMAINING QUESTIONS IN
A GRID WILL BE ASSIGNED SK. FOR GRIDS THAT HAVE BEEN DIVIDED INTO SMALLER GROUPS OF ITEMS,
THIS SK ASSIGNMENT TO THE REMAINING QUESTIONS IN A GRID WILL ONLY APPLY TO THE DEFINED GRID
SET IN THE SMALLER GROUP.

repeating kindergarten, answer for the first time {he/she} was in kindergarten. This question is about the
timing of starting kindergarten rather than when enrollment paperwork was done with the school. Some
parents or guardians may send a child to kindergarten when the child is the age required by the school (for
example, 5 years old by a certain date in the fall). Other parents or guardians may decide that their child
should be a year older before starting school (for example, 6 years old). In some states, a child may also be
able to enter school at a younger age (for example, 4 years old).

HELP FOR STEM: Transitional Kindergarten Program: A transitional kindergarten (TK) program is an extra
year of school before kindergarten starts. It is different from preschool, Head Start, or prekindergarten. TK
may be for children who are too young to start kindergarten or need more time to be ready for kindergarten.
Schools have different names for these programs (e.g., early transitional kindergarten (ETK), readiness
kindergarten, or a kindergarten equivalent in a classroom without grades or one with multiple grades), but all
are types of kindergarten. The program may be in a public or private school, or an early childhood setting
such as a nursery school, early childhood learning center, or day care center. It may be a full- or part-day
program and have regular and/or special education.

Section SSQ Social Skills, Problem Behaviors and Approaches Toward Learning
Thirty-four items ask parents to rate their child on social-emotional skills including ability to exercise selfcontrol (for example, fighting, arguing, anger); ability to interact with others (for example, playing, making
friends); being sad or lonely (for example, depression, low self-esteem); being impulsive or overactive;
positive behaviors (for example, listening, cooperating); problem behaviors (worrying); and approaches to
learning (for example, self direction, organization, eagerness to learn). The social skills and behavior items
are adapted from the Social Skills Rating Scale (SSRS) and the Social Skills Improvement System (SSIS) by
Gresham and Elliot (1990, 2008) published by NCS Pearson. These items (a-i, k, l, n, p, q, s, t, u, w, y, z1, z2,
z3, z4, z5, z6, z7, z8, z9) are copyright protected and are not listed (they are submitted directly to OMB for
review). The approaches to learning items were created for the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study,
Kindergarten Class of 1998-99 (ECLS-K) by Atkins-Burnett. They are not copyright protected and,
therefore, are listed below.

HELP FOR CODE 13: Other Nonrelative: Refers to the relationship between two people when there is no
family relationship through blood, marriage, adoption, or partnership (that is, living together as married). It
also refers to relationships that exist where there are two people living together as married and they have
children who are not related to one of them. For example, the child's father and the father's girlfriend (who
is not the child's mother) live together as married and the girlfriend's daughter lives with them. The
relationship of the girlfriend's daughter to the child would be siblings if they were married, but since the
father and the girlfriend are not married, she is an "other nonrelative." If the "other nonrelative" is checked,
you will receive a list of categories that are more descriptive than "other nonrelative" to choose from.
