It seems that most information you find out there about literacy intervention is geared toward primary students, which is great because the earlier intervention begins, the less time those students will struggle and lag behind. But what do you do with those pubescent, poor self-esteem, coming-into-their own junior highers who still struggle with reading? Without skills, research shows that these students are at a high risk for failing, and eventually dropping out of high school.
Adlit has many valuable resources for students just like these. This link will take you to an article that gives many different strategies teachers can implement to help these struggling adolescent readers.
You may not be able to solve their problem of how to get rid of a pimple in an hour, but you may just find a solution that will help them succeed with reading!
