You recognize the shift. The instant a student stops stumbling and begins reading with intention. They glance up and declare, "I ve got this." If that s the work you re drawn to every single day, this is where you belong.
Prequel is a remote-first online school designed for genuine progress, not hours logged. We re rethinking student learning so they advance more quickly, find joy in the journey, and graduate with measurable confidence.
Most weeks, you ll facilitate high-impact intervention sessions. The remainder, you ll conduct brief motivation touchpoints that keep students focused and reaching milestones. This position fits individuals who value independence, rapid feedback cycles, and visible results. It s not suited for anyone seeking a rigid playbook or avoiding data-driven work.
If you re ready to help struggling readers achieve substantial progress—and you value the flexibility to customize your methods for each student—we d welcome the opportunity to connect.
What You Will Be Doing- Create and facilitate virtual small-group and individual reading intervention sessions for students in grades 3–8
- Leverage reading assessment data to identify fluency and comprehension gaps and modify instruction rapidly
- Customize activities for varying reading levels, including accommodations for dyslexia and associated reading challenges
- Monitor progress systematically and consistently, using that data to inform subsequent sessions
- Facilitate structured motivation touchpoints that foster confidence, resilience, and pride in advancement
- Deliver large, full-class lessons or present from a rigid curriculum
- Execute a pre-written program without responding to student needs and immediate feedback
- Function as a passive "software supervisor" lacking meaningful instruction and rapport
- 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 motivation support that develops 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)
