Virtual 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 shift. The instant a student moves from guessing to reading with purpose. They meet your eyes and say, "I can do this." If that's the experience you want to create daily, this is your place.
Unbound is a remote-first online school designed around real progress, not compliance with seat time. We're rethinking how students learn so they advance more quickly, engage more deeply, and graduate with measurable confidence.
In most weeks, you'll deliver high-impact intervention sessions. The remainder, you'll facilitate brief motivation check-ins that maintain momentum and support goal achievement. This position fits people who value autonomy, immediate feedback loops, and visible results. It's not suited for anyone seeking a rigid script or uncomfortable with data-driven instruction.
If your goal is to help struggling readers achieve meaningful progress—and you want the flexibility to customize your methods for each student—we should talk.
What you will be doing
- Plan and facilitate virtual small-group and individual reading intervention sessions for students in grades 3–8
- Analyze reading assessment data to identify fluency and comprehension gaps and modify instruction in real time
- Adapt activities across varied reading levels, including accommodations for dyslexia and associated reading challenges
- Monitor progress systematically and consistently, using the data to inform subsequent sessions
- Facilitate structured motivation check-ins that cultivate confidence, persistence, and pride in measurable growth
What you will NOT be doing
- Deliver large, whole-class lessons or present from a rigid curriculum
- Execute a pre-scripted program without responding to individual student needs and live feedback
- Serve as a passive "software monitor" without providing meaningful instruction and relationship
- Depend on superficial rewards that fail to foster durable motivation
Key responsibilities
Take ownership of outcomes for grades 3–8—documented improvements in fluency and comprehension—by providing tailored virtual interventions and motivation 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.
