We are looking for a Literacy Tester to evaluate and support the development of reading and writing skills in individuals across various age groups. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in education, linguistics, or psychology, and a passion for helping others improve their literacy. This role involves administering standardized tests, analyzing results, and providing feedback to educators, parents, or program administrators.
As a Literacy Tester, you will work in educational institutions, community centers, or private organizations to assess literacy levels using a variety of tools and methodologies. You will be responsible for identifying literacy challenges, recommending interventions, and tracking progress over time. Your work will directly contribute to improving educational outcomes and empowering individuals with essential communication skills.
You should be comfortable working with diverse populations, including children, adults, and individuals with learning disabilities. Strong interpersonal and communication skills are essential, as you will often need to explain test results and recommendations in a clear and supportive manner. Experience with literacy assessment tools such as DIBELS, Woodcock-Johnson, or similar instruments is highly desirable.
This position may also involve training educators or volunteers on how to administer literacy assessments and interpret results. You will collaborate with teachers, speech-language pathologists, and other professionals to create comprehensive literacy support plans. Attention to detail, patience, and a commitment to educational equity are key qualities for success in this role.
Whether you are working one-on-one with a struggling reader or contributing to a large-scale literacy initiative, your efforts will make a meaningful difference in the lives of others.
