Reading Teacher and Consultant Cover Letter Example

Dear Hiring Manager,

As a Reading Teacher and Consultant with 5 years of experience in adult education and 6 years of experience in elementary and middle school settings, I apply with enthusiasm for this opportunity.

I currently hold two part-time positions, that of Reading Teacher Consultant at the Institute for Adult Education and Reading Specialist at Sunnybank Junior School.

At the Institute, I provide leadership and direction to specialists delivering instructional assistance to adult-age students to increase their basic English reading, writing, and literacy skills. This includes training specialists on effectively assessing needs, offering instructional assistance and classroom management guidance, and providing intensive group or individual tutoring assistance as required. 

At Sunnybank Junior School, I run reading support programs for native and non-native English speakers. I provide targeted group and individual instruction to support students struggling with learning grade-level content because of gaps in reading comprehension, fluency, and decoding. Interventions are continually monitored using supporting evidence from pre- and post-assessments to determine progress. I work closely with teachers to establish adaptations and accommodations for students across all grades and subject levels through individualized planning. I also provide ongoing feedback to support teachers in ensuring student success.

In addition to my professional experience, I hold a Master of Education (Elementary), a Bachelor of Education (Middle School), and a Reading Specialist (Adult Literacy) certification.

I am now seeking a full-time role in guiding the delivery of reading enrichment in a stimulating environment. After researching your school in detail, I am convinced about our mutual fit.

Please find attached my résumé for your consideration. Thank you very much for your time. I look forward to hearing from you regarding next steps.

Yours sincerely,

Summer Green
