Today's interview is with Jessica Farmer from Farmer Loves Phonics.

Jessica is a literacy advocate in the world of education on social media. With a bachelor's degree from Florida International University, Jessica also holds a reading endorsement in the state of Florida.

Her journey into the science of reading began in 2020, spurred by the onset of the pandemic. In response, she took to TikTok to create informative content, aimed at assisting parents in supporting their children's learning at home.

Since then, Jessica has maintained a consistent presence on TikTok and Instagram, offering valuable resources and insights for both parents and educators.

Jessica's unwavering passion lies in making reading instruction accessible and effective for every learner. With a commitment to reaching and empowering all readers, Jessica continues to be a trusted source of guidance and support in the science of reading community (*She is currently the lead professional trainer for Rainbow Phonics and a facilitator for LETRS EC).
