Table D-42
Number knowledge score at age 5 predicted by frequency of reading to the child and household income level – Regression coefficients (B) and standard errors (SE) of coefficients
Predictors	Number knowledge score
Predictors	Unstandardized regression coefficient (B)	Standard error (SE)
Constant	103.56	0.76
Frequency of reading
Not daily	-3.07²	0.56
Daily¹	0.00	0.00
Household income level
Below low income cut-off (LICO)	-7.68²	1.01
LICO to less than 2 times LICO	-4.12²	0.84
Two times LICO to less than 3 times LICO	-1.86	0.84
Three times LICO or above¹	0.00	0.00
B: unstandardized regression coefficient. 1. Reference category. 2. Coefficient differs statistically from 0.
Notes The interaction term was found to be non-significant in a preliminary analysis. Statistical significance: p<0.0125 (nominal significance level of p<0.05 adjusted for multiple comparisons). LICO refers to the low income cut-off.
