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 your place.

Unbound is a remote-first online school designed for genuine progress, not clock-watching. 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 conduct focused intervention sessions. The remainder, you'll facilitate brief motivational touchpoints that keep learners engaged and reaching milestones. This position fits those who value independence, immediate feedback, and visible results. It's not suited to anyone seeking rigid scripts or avoiding performance metrics.

If you're driven to help readers who struggle achieve substantial progress—and you value the latitude to customize your methods for individual students—let's connect.

What you will be doing

  • Create and facilitate virtual small-group and individual reading intervention sessions for learners in grades 3–8
  • Apply reading assessment data to identify fluency and comprehension deficits and modify instruction rapidly
  • Adapt activities for various reading levels, including accommodations for dyslexia and associated reading challenges
  • Monitor progress with clarity and consistency, using the information to shape upcoming sessions
  • Conduct structured motivational touchpoints that cultivate confidence, determination, and pride in development

What you will NOT be doing

  • Deliver large, whole-class instruction or present from a rigid curriculum
  • Execute a pre-written program without tailoring to learner needs and live feedback
  • Function as a passive "technology supervisor" lacking substantive instruction and rapport
  • Depend on superficial incentives that fail to foster enduring motivation

Key responsibilities

Take ownership of outcomes for grades 3–8—quantifiable improvements in fluency and comprehension—by providing personalized virtual interventions and motivational 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
  • Available to work in a hybrid capacity in Arizona as needed.
