The purpose of this article is to provide a model of an academic intervention and support program in literacy that focuses on the needs of individual students and revalues them as readers, goals that are of extreme importance when working with adolescents who have repeatedly experienced academic failure and view themselves as poor readers. This article describes the key elements and strategies of an academic intervention and support program called the Literacy Club that was designed for struggling high school readers and their literacy tutors. This article supplies a literacy-focused lesson plan format that teachers from the Literacy Club deemed successful for integrating literacy objectives and strategies into the teaching of "Hamlet" and concludes with the three reading strategies that were considered the most helpful by the students.
