Reading Specialists Jobs in Hartsdale, NY

A Reading Specialist plays a crucial role in school administration by employing their expertise in language acquisition and literacy development to enhance the reading skills of students and the instructional strategies of educators. They assess and diagnose reading difficulties, design and implement reading intervention programs, and provide professional development to staff members. Reading Specialists also often collaborate with classroom teachers, special education instructors, and other professionals to create an integrated, supportive learning environment for students. They work closely with administrators to develop school-wide reading curriculums, monitor student progress, and facilitate school literacy initiatives.

Prior to becoming a Reading Specialist, an individual generally has experience in roles such as a Classroom Teacher, Literacy Coach, or Special Education Teacher. These roles provide the necessary classroom experience and foundational knowledge in educational theory and practice, which are crucial for success in the Reading Specialist role.
