Reading Intervention 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 moves from guessing to reading with purpose. They glance up and declare, "I can do this." If that's the kind of work you want every day, 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, find joy in the journey, and graduate with measurable confidence.
In most weeks, you'll conduct high-impact intervention sessions. During the remainder, you'll facilitate brief motivation touchpoints that keep learners on course and achieving milestones. This position is ideal for individuals who value autonomy, rapid feedback cycles, and visible results. It's unsuitable for anyone seeking a rigid script or uncomfortable with data-driven work.
If you're committed to helping struggling readers achieve substantial progress—and you seek the latitude 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 learners in grades 3–8
- Apply reading assessment data to identify fluency and comprehension deficits and modify instruction rapidly
- Tailor activities across varied reading proficiency levels, including accommodations for dyslexia and associated reading challenges
- Monitor progress with clarity and consistency, using results to inform subsequent sessions
- Facilitate structured motivation touchpoints that cultivate confidence, perseverance, and pride in development
What you will NOT be doing
- Deliver large whole-class lessons or present from a rigid curriculum
- Execute a pre-scripted program without modifying based on learner needs and live feedback
- Function as a passive "software observer" 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—through delivery of tailored virtual interventions and motivation support that fosters confidence.
Candidate requirements
- Bachelor's degree in education, literacy, or a directly related discipline
- Reading intervention certification or endorsement (e.g., Arizona Reading Specialist K-12 or comparable state credential)
- Specialized training or certification in dyslexia intervention (or equivalent structured literacy methodologies)
- Minimum of 2 years of experience providing small-group or individual reading interventions for learners in grades 3–8
- Experience working with students who have dyslexia or associated reading difficulties
- Capability to analyze progress monitoring data and apply findings to plan and refine instruction
- Demonstrated ability to engage and guide students in a virtual environment through clear, motivating communication
- Availability to work in a hybrid capacity in Arizona when required.
