Reading and writing abilities are the functional pre-requisites for a child to learn about his environment. Both these skills constitute the basis for learning, and their successful acquisition comprises one of the central keys to scholastic achievement. (Cunningham and Stanovich, 1997). Researchers like Nunes (1999) and Pretorious (2002) have highlighted the strong correlation between reading and academic success. Two environments home and school share an influential space in individual's life and there exists a unique combination between the two. This paper investigates the mental abilities and reading-writing skills of children. The effects of school and home environment were explored. An intervention programme to improve the mental abilities and readingwriting skills of low performing children was imparted.
