The slowlearner usually has a low selfimage. It is important to us to build up this image, and one of the ways is to have a good relationship among the students. We want them to get the feeling that, “I am as good as any one else in this class.” There are several factors why the student is a slowlearner with a poor selfimage. One could be that he had poor previous teaching. This is unlikely, but we consider everything. If this is the problem then we feel we are on the right track by our method of teach, review, and drill. We know that good teaching greatly influences the making of a good reader.
