Literacy Interventionist   $60,000 USD/year

Description

You recognize that moment—the shift when a student stops fumbling and begins reading with purpose. They glance up and realize, "I can actually do this." If that breakthrough is the work you're drawn to, this role may be the right fit.

Unbound operates as a remote-first online school focused on authentic learning gains rather than time spent in seats. We've restructured the student experience so learners advance more quickly, find the work engaging, and finish with measurable confidence.

In a typical week, you'll facilitate targeted intervention sessions. During the remaining time, you'll conduct brief motivation touchpoints that support students in maintaining focus and reaching their goals. This position is designed for individuals who value independence, rapid feedback, and visible results. It's not suited to those seeking a scripted template or avoiding performance metrics.

If you're committed to helping struggling readers achieve substantial progress—and you seek the flexibility to customize your methods for each learner—we welcome your application.

What you will be doing

  • Create and facilitate virtual small-group and individual reading intervention sessions for students in grades 3–8
  • Leverage reading assessment data to pinpoint fluency and comprehension weaknesses and modify instruction in real time
  • Adapt activities for varied reading levels, including accommodations for dyslexia and associated reading challenges
  • Monitor student progress with clarity and consistency, applying insights to shape upcoming sessions
  • Lead structured motivation touchpoints that foster confidence, persistence, and a sense of pride in development

What you will NOT be doing

  • Deliver large whole-class instruction or present material from a rigid curriculum
  • Execute a pre-written program without adjusting for student response and live feedback
  • Serve as a passive observer of software rather than providing genuine instruction and rapport
  • Depend on superficial incentives that fail to cultivate enduring motivation

Key responsibilities

Take ownership of measurable outcomes for grades 3–8—documented improvements in fluency and comprehension—by providing individualized virtual interventions and motivational guidance 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.
