you have a new scale that is a continuous measure of teacher important skills at the end of kindergarten. Use that variable to run a regression analysis examining whether the number of books a child has in their home is predictive of teacher reported academic skills at the end of kindergarten (your new variable). The independent variable is whether the number of books a child has in their home. Create a dependent (continuous) variable.
