Virtual Reading Specialist, Unbound Academy (Remote) - $60,000/year USD

Overview Unbound is a remote‑first online school designed for authentic progress, not compliance with seat time. We are reconstructing the learning model so students advance more quickly, engage meaningfully, and graduate with measurable confidence. What You Will Be Doing Plan 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 deficits and modify instruction promptly. Adapt activities for varied reading levels, including accommodations for dyslexia and related reading challenges. Monitor progress with clarity and consistency, using data to inform subsequent session planning. Conduct structured motivation check‑ins designed to strengthen confidence, persistence, and ownership of growth. What You Won’t Be Doing Deliver large, whole‑class instruction or present from a rigid curriculum. Execute a pre‑written program without responding to student needs and immediate feedback. Serve as a passive "software monitor" lacking substantive instruction and student connection. Depend on superficial incentives that fail to cultivate enduring motivation. Virtual Reading Specialist Key Responsibilities Take ownership of outcomes for grades 3–8—quantifiable improvements in fluency and comprehension—through personalized virtual interventions and motivational support that cultivates confidence.
