Father = father in video is biological father (dichotomous). English = household's primary language is English (dichotomous). Girl = child is a girl (dichotomous). Education = maternal and paternal average years of schooling. Mother freq. = frequency of mother–child reading interactions. Father freq. = frequency of father–child reading interactions.
