Why do you want a career as a reading teacher?
When answering this question, you can absolutely incorporate a personal story or the journey that led you to apply for the role. You could also talk about what inspired you to become a teacher in the first place.
"When I was in elementary school, I personally had a tough time with reading. I had a teacher who would take additional time out of her day to help me. She made sure I didn't fall behind. When I looked back, years later, and realized how important her role was in my education, it really inspired me to follow the same career path. I want to be a reading teacher because I understand the importance of making a difference in a child's life. And, I am really good at it because I genuinely care."
