Reading Specialist $60,000 USD/year Pay is set based on global value, not the local market.
Most roles = hourly rate x 40 hrs x 50 weeks
Description
You recognize the shift. The instant a student moves from guessing to reading with intention. They glance up and say, "I can do this." If that's the work you want every day, this is where you belong.
Unbound is a remote-first online school designed for measurable growth, not time served. We're rethinking how students learn so they advance more quickly, engage more deeply, and graduate with confidence you can quantify.
In most weeks, you'll deliver focused intervention sessions. In others, you'll facilitate brief motivation check-ins that keep students aligned and reaching targets. This role fits individuals who value independence, rapid feedback cycles, and visible results. It's not suitable for anyone seeking a rigid playbook or avoiding data-driven instruction.
If you're ready to help struggling readers achieve real progress—and you want the latitude to customize your methods for each learner—we'd welcome the conversation.
What you will be doing
- Plan and conduct virtual small-group and individual reading intervention sessions for students in grades 3–8
- Leverage reading assessment data to pinpoint fluency and comprehension deficits and modify instruction rapidly
- Adapt activities for varied reading levels, including accommodations for dyslexia and related reading challenges
- Monitor progress systematically and apply the data to inform upcoming sessions
- Facilitate structured motivation check-ins that foster confidence, perseverance, and pride in achievement
What you will NOT be doing
- Deliver large, whole-class lessons or present material from a rigid curriculum
- Adhere to a pre-scripted program without responding to student needs and live feedback
- Function as a passive "software monitor" lacking meaningful instruction and relationship-building
- Depend on superficial rewards that fail to cultivate enduring motivation
Key responsibilities
Take ownership of outcomes for grades 3–8—quantifiable improvements in fluency and comprehension—by providing tailored virtual interventions and motivational guidance that strengthens confidence.
Candidate requirements

- Reading intervention certification or endorsement (e.g., Arizona Reading Specialist K-12 or equivalent state certification)
- Specialized training or certification in dyslexia intervention (or related structured literacy approaches)
- At least 2 years of experience delivering small-group or one-on-one reading interventions for students in grades 3–8
- Experience supporting students with dyslexia or related reading difficulties
- Ability to interpret progress monitoring data and use it to plan and adjust instruction
- Strong ability to engage and manage students in a virtual setting through clear, motivating communication
