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 that moment. A struggling reader stops fumbling and begins reading with precision. They make eye contact and say, "I can do this." If that's the experience you want to create every day, this role will fit you well.
Unbound is a remote-first online school designed around genuine progress, not time logged. We're restructuring student learning so they advance more quickly, engage with the material, and graduate with measurable confidence.
In most weeks, you'll conduct high-impact intervention sessions. In others, you'll facilitate brief motivation check-ins that maintain student momentum and goal achievement. This position is suited to those who value autonomy, immediate feedback, and visible results. It's not appropriate for anyone seeking a rigid script or who avoids working with data.
If you're committed to helping struggling readers achieve significant progress—and you value the flexibility to customize your methods for each student—we should talk.
What you will be doing
- Create 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 deficits and modify instruction rapidly
- Adapt activities to accommodate multiple reading levels, including accommodations for dyslexia and related reading challenges
- Monitor progress in a transparent, systematic manner and apply the data to inform upcoming sessions
- Conduct structured motivation check-ins that foster confidence, perseverance, and pride in achievement
What you will NOT be doing
- Deliver large, whole-class lessons or present material from a rigid curriculum
- Implement a pre-scripted program without responding to student needs and immediate feedback
- Function as a passive "software monitor" lacking meaningful instruction and personal connection
- Depend on superficial rewards that fail to cultivate enduring motivation
Key responsibilities
Take ownership of outcomes for grades 3–8—quantifiable improvements in fluency and comprehension—by providing customized virtual interventions and motivational support that develops 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.
