Repetition is probably best, but it can be easy to lose interest. If he or she knows how to read to some degree, but has problems with reading out loud, you can try this.
1. Sit by the computer. Ask the person a series of questions about himself. Keep it simple. Type the answers he gives you and make two copies. (use a bigger and friendlier font than usual.)
2. Read the answers together out loud a few times.
3. He can take the list home and go over it when convenient.
4. Read them together a few more times until he is fluently reading that list. He shouldn't feel frustrated since he knows the answers to the questions and he knows what the words are, which makes reading it a lot easier. (No frustration).
5. Then make another list and move on to it.
6. Every time he masters one list, you move on to the next list, reviewing all the other ones again. This gives him that sense of success in reading. (extremely important).
7. As his reading improves, you can ask him to bring something else to read that is interesting to him.
8. As he continues to improve, work on getting rid of the monotone to make his reading 'voice' and comprehension better.

Give them a tape and headphones for them to read by themselves.

A typing Tutor program on the computer will be by far the fastest way, and they'll learn to type at the same time, Double Whammy !!!

It's very hard for a child to learn how to read/write after a certain age. However, you could send him/her to a tutor, and start from the basics. (This helps build a strong foundation.) It may take a long time, (depending on how dedicated he is to learning) but he will learn it..

Start with phonics. Start easy. Dont overwhelm him. Talk to a specialist, I suggest online and books, online at scholastic stuff, make it interesting, and everyday needs to put in at least an hour or 2.. Good luck

The website below has good resources to teach adults to read. Also, you should have an adult education program if you are in the US. The US link is below.

Figure out what they believe about themselves that causes them to believe they can't learn. After they stop believing they can't it will get a little better.
