Greetings,
From my experiences as an educator, I feel that the best way to address the literacy problems is through illustration.
Students writing, illustrating and reading theirs and other students' writings may encourage and inspire others to begin reading, much like how when they go home with a cold infecting everyone in the house.
I believe the way to reach the dysfunctional and the disenchanted youth is by having their younger siblings be their mentors showing them that they themselves should and could be doing better.
The children are not listening to adults, especially the adolescents, if I had to go back into the classroom, I would go to an elementary school where children are still eager to trust and to listen to their teachers.
