This research focuses on the degree that home educational environment predicts reading achievement and student self-esteem within an urban, low socioeconomic status. Home environment was a significant predictor of relative and standardized achievement as well as nonacademic self-esteem, while the results for academic self-esteem were inconsistent.Keywords
