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 moment. A student stops struggling to decode and begins reading with intention and clarity. They meet your eyes and say, "I understand now." If this is the kind of impact you want to create daily, this role will fit you well.
Unbound is a remote-first online school designed around measurable progress, not hours logged. We've rethought student learning so advancement happens faster, engagement stays high, and confidence becomes something you can track and prove.
In most weeks, you'll conduct targeted intervention sessions with significant impact. In others, you'll facilitate brief motivational touchpoints that sustain momentum and support goal attainment. This position is well-suited for educators who value independence, responsive teaching cycles, and results they can observe directly. It won't suit those seeking rigid lesson plans or who avoid working closely with performance data.
If your goal is to help students with reading challenges achieve real, documented progress—and you value the flexibility to personalize your methods for individual learners—we want to hear from you.
What you will be doing
- Plan and facilitate virtual reading intervention sessions—both small-group and one-on-one—for students in grades 3–8
- Analyze reading assessment data to identify specific fluency and comprehension deficits, then adapt instruction accordingly
- Customize learning activities to address diverse reading levels, including accommodations for dyslexia and similar reading challenges
- Monitor student progress using structured, consistent methods and apply findings to shape upcoming sessions
- Facilitate organized motivational check-ins designed to strengthen confidence, perseverance, and a sense of accomplishment
What you will NOT be doing
- Deliver whole-class instruction or rely on a static, one-size-fits-all curriculum
- Execute a scripted intervention program without room for real-time adjustment based on student response
- Function as a passive observer or technology facilitator without delivering substantive instruction or building relationships
- Depend on superficial incentives that fail to cultivate genuine, sustained motivation
Key responsibilities
Take ownership of measurable reading outcomes for students in grades 3–8—specifically fluency and comprehension growth—through personalized virtual interventions and motivational coaching that fosters self-assurance.
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.
