Virtual 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 learner stops fumbling and begins reading with intention. They meet your eyes and say, "I've got this." If that's the impact you want to create daily, this is where you belong.
Unbound is a remote-first online school designed for genuine progress, not attendance hours. We're rethinking student learning so they advance more quickly, engage more deeply, and graduate with measurable self-assurance.
In most weeks, you'll facilitate high-impact intervention work. In others, you'll conduct brief motivational touchpoints that maintain momentum and support goal attainment. This position is ideal for those who value independence, immediate feedback, and visible results. It's unsuitable for anyone seeking rigid lesson plans or avoiding performance metrics.
If you're ready to support struggling readers in achieving substantial progress—and you want the latitude to customize your methods for individual students—let's connect.
What you will be doing
- Plan and execute virtual small-group and individual reading intervention sessions for learners in grades 3–8
- Leverage reading assessment data to identify fluency and comprehension deficits and modify instruction rapidly
- Adapt activities to accommodate multiple reading levels, including specialized support for dyslexia and similar reading challenges
- Monitor progress systematically and consistently, using the data to shape subsequent sessions
- Facilitate structured motivational touchpoints that foster confidence, determination, and pride in development
What you will NOT be doing
- Deliver large, whole-group lessons or present from a standardized curriculum
- Execute a rigidly scripted program without responding to individual learner needs and live feedback
- Function as a passive "technology supervisor" lacking substantive instruction and rapport
- Depend on superficial incentives that fail to cultivate enduring motivation
Key responsibilities
Take ownership of outcomes for grades 3–8—quantifiable improvements in fluency and comprehension—through personalized virtual interventions and motivational guidance that strengthens confidence.

- Experience supporting students with dyslexia or related reading difficulties
