***You must have U.S. work authorization to apply for this job***

Air Reading

In the U.S., nearly one in three children struggles with reading at grade level. At Air Reading, we believe every child deserves access to high-quality literacy support — and every teacher deserves the tools to make a lasting difference. We partner with elementary schools to deliver research-driven small-group reading instruction, helping students catch up and thrive.

Air Reading is also a place where teachers grow professionally. Our teachers gain hands-on experience with the Science of Reading, use structured phonics-based methods, and receive continuous coaching and resources to strengthen their craft. Many teachers tell us that the skills they develop at Air Reading become a powerful foundation for advancing their careers in education.
