Reading Intervention Specialist   $60,000 USD/year

Description

You recognize the shift. The instant a learner stops fumbling and begins reading with purpose. 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 around authentic progress, not time logged. We're rethinking student learning so they advance more quickly, find joy in the journey, and graduate with measurable confidence.

In most weeks, you'll facilitate high-impact intervention work. The remainder, you'll conduct brief motivational touchpoints that keep learners moving forward and reaching milestones. This position fits those who value independence, rapid feedback, and visible results. It's not suited to anyone seeking a rigid playbook or avoiding data-driven decisions.

If you're ready to guide struggling readers toward substantial improvement—and you want the latitude to customize your methods for each learner—we want to hear from you.

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 pinpoint fluency and comprehension deficits and modify instruction rapidly
  • Tailor activities to span multiple reading levels, including accommodations for dyslexia and associated reading challenges
  • Monitor progress with clarity and consistency, then apply that data to shape upcoming sessions
  • Facilitate structured motivational touchpoints that cultivate confidence, resilience, and pride in advancement

What you will NOT be doing

  • Deliver large, full-class lessons or present from a static curriculum
  • Execute a pre-written program without adapting to learner needs and live feedback
  • Serve as a passive "software observer" without substantive instruction and rapport
  • Depend on superficial incentives that fail to foster enduring motivation

Key responsibilities

Drive outcomes for grades 3–8—quantifiable improvements in fluency and comprehension—through tailored virtual interventions and motivational support that strengthens 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
  • Available to work in a hybrid capacity in Arizona as needed.
