A literacy specialist helps people with literacy issues or non-native English speakers learn to read and write. As a reading specialist, your job duties are to work with individuals or small classes, providing them with reading materials, lessons, and supervision. You also complete student assessments and consult with the student’s primary teachers on strategies to improve their students’ reading abilities. Many literacy specialists work in kindergartens or elementary schools, teaching students who have had difficulty with reading skills. Some literacy specialists work with older children or adults.
| Aspect | Literacy Specialist | Reading Coach |
|---|---|---|
| Credentials | Teaching certification, literacy endorsements | Teaching certification, literacy training |
| Work Environment | Classrooms, schools, literacy programs | Classrooms, professional development sessions |
| Employer & Industry | Schools, educational organizations | Schools, district offices |
| Primary Focus | Developing literacy skills across diverse learners | Supporting teachers in literacy instruction |
While both roles focus on literacy, a Literacy Specialist primarily works directly with students to improve their reading and writing skills, whereas a Reading Coach supports teachers by providing training and resources to enhance literacy instruction. The roles often overlap but differ in their main responsibilities and target audiences.
