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 transitions from guessing words to reading with intention. They glance up and announce, "I can actually do this." If that's the experience you want to create daily, this is your place.
Unbound operates as a remote-first online school designed for measurable progress, not attendance hours. We're reshaping the learning experience so students advance more quickly, find joy in the journey, and graduate with demonstrable confidence.
In most weeks, you'll facilitate high-impact intervention work. In others, you'll conduct brief motivation touchpoints that keep learners focused and reaching milestones. This position fits individuals who value independence, rapid feedback cycles, and visible results. It's not suited to those seeking rigid lesson plans or who avoid working with performance metrics.
If your goal is to guide struggling readers toward substantial progress—and you want the flexibility to customize your methods for each learner—we want to hear from you.
What you will be doing
- Create and conduct virtual small-group and individual reading intervention sessions for learners in grades 3–8
- Leverage reading assessment data to address fluency and comprehension deficits and modify instruction rapidly
- Adapt activities for varied reading proficiency levels, including accommodations for dyslexia and associated reading challenges
- Monitor student progress using clear, reliable methods and apply insights to shape upcoming sessions
- Facilitate structured motivation touchpoints that cultivate confidence, determination, and pride in advancement
What you will NOT be doing
- Deliver large, full-class lessons or present from a static curriculum
- Execute a pre-written program rigidly without responding to individual student needs and immediate feedback
- Function as a passive "software supervisor" lacking substantive instruction and relationship-building
- Depend on superficial incentives that fail to cultivate enduring motivation
Key responsibilities
Take ownership of outcomes for grades 3–8—quantifiable improvements in fluency and comprehension—through delivery of customized virtual interventions and motivational 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.
