You recognize the turning point. That instant when a student stops making wild guesses and begins reading with intention. They glance up and declare, “I can do this.” If this is the kind of work you're drawn to each day, this role will feel like the right fit. Prequel is a remote‑first online school designed for genuine academic growth, not clock‑watching. We're rethinking student learning to accelerate progress, increase engagement, and produce measurable confidence. In most weeks, you'll facilitate high‑impact intervention sessions. During the remainder, you'll conduct brief motivation check‑ins that keep students aligned with their targets and moving forward. This position is ideal for individuals who value independence, immediate feedback, and visible results. It's not suitable for those seeking scripted instruction or who are uncomfortable working with data. If you're committed to helping struggling readers achieve substantial progress—and you want the latitude to customize your methods for each learner—we'd welcome the opportunity to connect.

What You Will Be Doing

Plan and conduct virtual small‑group and individual reading intervention sessions for students across grades 3–8

Analyze reading assessment data to pinpoint fluency and comprehension deficits and modify instruction rapidly

Adapt activities to accommodate multiple reading levels, including specialized support for dyslexia and similar reading challenges

Monitor progress through consistent, transparent methods and apply data insights to shape upcoming sessions

Facilitate structured motivation check‑ins designed to strengthen confidence, resilience, and pride in development

What You Won’t Be Doing

Deliver large, whole‑class instruction or present from a rigid curriculum

Implement a pre‑written program without responding to individual student needs and live feedback

Serve as a passive “software supervisor” lacking meaningful teaching and interpersonal engagement

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 personalized virtual interventions and motivational support that cultivates confidence.

Basic 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

Full‑time availability during U.S. business hours (Monday–Friday; 9:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. PT)
