Virtual Reading Specialist   $60,000 USD/year

Description

You recognize the shift. That instant when a student transitions from guessing to reading with purpose. They meet your eyes and declare, "I've got this." If that's the kind of work you want to engage in daily, this is your place.

Prequel is a remote-first online school designed for genuine progress, not just time logged. We're rethinking student learning so they advance more quickly, find joy in the journey, and graduate with quantifiable confidence.

In most weeks, you'll conduct powerful intervention sessions. During others, you'll facilitate brief motivation touchpoints that maintain student momentum toward their objectives. This position fits individuals who value independence, rapid feedback cycles, and visible results. It's not suited for those seeking a rigid playbook or who avoid working with metrics.

If your goal is to support struggling readers in achieving substantial progress—and you desire the flexibility to customize your methods for each learner—we want to hear from you.

What you will be doing

  • Create and facilitate virtual small-group and individual reading intervention sessions for grades 3–8 students
  • Leverage reading assessment data to identify fluency and comprehension gaps and modify instruction rapidly
  • Tailor activities to span multiple reading levels, including accommodations for dyslexia and associated reading challenges
  • Monitor progress through clear, systematic methods and apply the data to inform upcoming sessions
  • Conduct structured motivation touchpoints that cultivate confidence, resilience, and pride in development

What you will NOT be doing

  • Deliver large, whole-class lessons or present from a rigid curriculum
  • Adhere to a pre-scripted program without responding to student needs and immediate feedback
  • Function as a passive "software monitor" lacking substantive instruction and rapport
  • Depend on superficial rewards that fail to foster enduring motivation

Key responsibilities

Take ownership of outcomes for grades 3–8—quantifiable improvements in fluency and comprehension—through personalized virtual interventions and motivation support that fosters confidence.

Candidate requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in education, literacy, or a closely related field
  • 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
  • Full-time availability during U.S. business hours (Monday–Friday; 9:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. PT)
