I want to share something one of my high school teachers did:
The teacher invited two business executives to the classroom and asked them to explain the consequences of not reading and writing properly (something that was a concern regarding some seventh-grade students!). These executives shared their experiences filling out job applications, signing contracts, and giving presentations. They went through all sorts of humiliating situations and were denied better positions and salaries! That was enough to motivate struggling students to improve their reading and writing skills.
