 Family, peers and teachers play a significant
role in the formation of a child’s self-concept.
 Factors such as the mother’s use of library,
reading materials in the home, and the
father’s occupational level affect the child’s
concept as a reader and towards reading.

14. According to self-concept
theory…
 Children with feelings of adequacy, self-
confidence and self-reliance tend to be
good readers.
 Harris(1980) suggests that painful
emotional events during early efforts at
reading may turn the young learner
against reading.

 A child with a positive self-concept is like
a poker player with plenty of chips while a
child with negative self-concept has very
few chips, if at all.

Success
 The teacher who is willing to go very
slowly at first is often rewarded by
accelerated progress later.
 Without success in reading, success in
almost any other area becomes
improbable, if not impossible.
