Reading Specialist, The Novatio School (Remote) - $60,000/year USD

You recognize the turning point. A student who has struggled to read suddenly shows confidence where hesitation used to live. The frustration fades. The trajectory shifts. If guiding students to that turning point is the work that drives you, this position was designed for you. Novatio is a completely remote school committed to helping students achieve significant academic progress through individualized support, effective instruction, and trackable results. We understand that struggling readers require more than digital tools and practice sheets. They require focused intervention, steady encouragement, and educators who understand how to respond in the moment. In this position, you will provide virtual reading intervention sessions for students in grades 3–8 while helping them develop the confidence and determination that fuel sustained growth. You will analyze assessment data to identify skill deficits, modify instruction rapidly, and design interventions that address students at their current level. You will also facilitate brief motivation check-ins that keep students engaged, accountable, and confident in their progress. This position is well-suited for someone who values independence, immediate feedback, and tangible results. If you want the ability to customize instruction while helping students achieve measurable improvements in reading fluency and comprehension, we would like to hear from you. What You Will Be Doing
