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 know the switch. The moment a student stops guessing and starts reading with control. They look up and say, “I can do this.” If that’s the work you want to do every day, you’ll feel at home here.
Unbound is a remote-first online school built for real growth, not seat time. We’re redesigning how students learn so they progress faster, enjoy the process, and leave with confidence you can measure.
Most weeks, you’ll run high-impact intervention sessions. The rest, you’ll lead quick motivation check-ins that keep students on track and hitting goals. This role suits people who like autonomy, tight feedback loops, and outcomes they can see. It’s not for anyone who wants a fixed script or shies away from data.
If you want to help struggling readers make meaningful gains—and you want the freedom to tailor your approach to each student—we’d like to meet you.
What you will be doing
- Design and deliver virtual small-group and one-on-one reading intervention sessions for students in grades 3–8
- Use reading assessment data to target fluency and comprehension gaps and adjust instruction quickly
- Differentiate activities across multiple reading levels, including support for dyslexia and related reading difficulties
- Track progress in a clear, consistent way and use the data to plan the next sessions
- Run structured motivation check-ins that build confidence, persistence, and pride in growth
What you will NOT be doing
- Spend your days managing whole-class lessons or lecturing from a fixed curriculum
- Follow a pre-scripted program without adapting to student needs and real-time feedback
- Act as a passive "software monitor" without meaningful instruction and connection
- Rely on shallow rewards that do not build lasting motivation
Key responsibilities
