Hey, I’m Jess!

I’m the founder of The Phonics Framework and have been an educator for over 22 years.

I specialize in helping children who struggle with reading and spelling figure out what’s actually getting in the way.

From there, I create individualized instruction that targets the skills your child needs most, so they can build strong reading skills and become capable, confident readers.

I believe every child can learn to read with the right support. My approach goes beyond giving kids more practice. I look at the skills underneath the struggle, identify the gaps, and build from there.

The goal? Meaningful progress, stronger skills, and a child who feels good about themselves as a reader.

If you’re worried about your child’s reading or simply not sure what kind of support they need, I’d love to connect.

  • “Jess is just wonderful. She has created such a wonderful learning experience for my 6 year old. She has guided and taught my daughter so thoroughly enabling her to catch up (as she had several difficulties with reading and learning). She is not only skilled but incredibly patient and kind. My daughter was learning and enjoying her experience and time with Jess. I would recommend her in a heartbeat!"

    -Christy

  • Ms. Jess is the best! She knew exactly what my son needed to keep the skills he learned in 1st grade during the summer months and get him ready for 2nd grade! Her sessions are engaging and fun!

    -Maryann

  • “We are so grateful for Ms. Jess! She is patient, engaging, and really knows how to make learning fun. My boys look forward to every session, and it’s clear that Jess is passionate about helping children succeed. I highly recommend Jess to anyone looking for a fantastic tutor!"

    -Parent of 2nd grader

  • “Jessica is a fantastic educator! She has countless strategies that will help your struggling readers develop their phonics and reading skills. As an educator myself, I struggled with ways to get my struggling readers to read. Jessica worked very closely with me to develop individualized plans for each of my kindergarteners based on specifically what they needed help in. And, I saw real proof that her expertise really, truly works! So, for a parent or a teacher, The Phonics Framework is a valuable resource that you don’t want to pass up. Reach out to Jessica and you won’t be disappointed!"

    -Lauren (Kindergarten Teacher)

  • We are currently working with Jess to help my 12 year old read/write/spell better. He excels in art and science, but really struggles in English. He has improved sooooo much and enjoys each session. 10/10 recommend. She is very easy to work with and extremely knowledgeable.

    Jessica H.

  • My rising 1st grader has benefited so much from the Short Vowel Intensive course Jess offers. He has always been a hesitant and easily discouraged reader, but that all changed with Jess. Her style and approach are different than most. She is engaging, enthusiastic, and give the child room to try, make mistakes, and then correct them on their own. My son is a way more confident and enthusiastic reader as a result. Jess is the best of the best and I am so grateful for all she has done for my son!

    -Lisa

  • When I was teaching first grade, Jessica consulted with me about reading interventions for my students. She took time out of her busy schedule to meet with target students and recommend strategies that would help them grow as readers. Jessica has an excellent rapport with students of all ages. This makes children strive to do their best. I highly recommend The Phonics Framework!

    -Lisa

  • My 9 year old son has been working with The Phonics Framework for about two years. He has made consistent gains across his abilities to read, comprehend, and interpret written language. His ability to decode and encode has improved tremendously. Miss Jessica Errico has not only proved herself to be a strong educator, she has also given my son the confidence he needed to develop his skills. He considers "Miss Jess" to be a big part of his support system and looks forward to their time. We are extremely grateful for her support!

    -Parent of a 4th grader

  • Miss Jess has been so helpful with our struggling reader. After several weeks, our daughter had so much more confidence. Several months later, she is catching up to grade level and more importantly ENJOYING chapter books. The Phonics Framework method truly is amazing, and we are so grateful for Miss Jess and her method!

    -Alyssa

  • My six-year-old daughter, Blakelyn, is currently enrolled in Miss Jess’s summer reading camp, and the experience has exceeded all expectations. She looks forward to each session with great enthusiasm, frequently asking if she has the opportunity to work with Miss Jess and even requesting individual time with her. This level of excitement reflects Miss Jess’s exceptional ability to build meaningful connections with her students and create an engaging learning environment. Since joining the program, Blakelyn has successfully maintained her reading, writing, and spelling skills while also acquiring new strategies and knowledge. The curriculum is thoughtfully designed to support continued academic growth during the summer months,an essential component in preventing learning regression. I am thoroughly impressed by the quality of instruction and the positive impact it has had on my daughter. I wholeheartedly recommend Miss Jess’s summer reading camp to any parent seeking to keep their child academically engaged and confidently progressing. We LOVE Miss Jess ❤️.

  • As a high school teacher, I felt an overwhelming sense of helplessness when my own daughter began to struggle in school. I wasn’t sure where to turn until Miss Jess appeared on my Instagram feed. It felt as though a tremendous weight had been lifted off my shoulders. We began working with Miss Jess in January. During the school year, she meets with my daughter twice a week, and throughout the summer, we’ve increased that to three sessions per week. From the very beginning, it was evident that Miss Jess is nothing short of a godsend. Within just a few sessions, she was able to identify the underlying causes of Charlye’s reading challenges, something that had gone undetected for far too long. Because of Miss Jess’s expertise and keen insight, we discovered that my daughter is dyslexic. This pivotal discovery allowed us to pursue the appropriate interventions and support systems. Miss Jess has since developed a customized, targeted curriculum tailored specifically to Charlye’s unique learning needs. Her unwavering patience, compassion, and exceptional ability to build genuine relationships with children set her apart in every possible way. She has not only helped restore my daughter’s confidence but has also transformed her academic trajectory. Charlye is now reading fluently, her grades have significantly improved, and perhaps most importantly—she believes in herself again. Miss Jess has also made remarkable progress in developing Charlye’s writing and organizational skills. She is truly the complete package. I can say with absolute certainty that I have never encountered someone who works as tirelessly and passionately as Miss Jess to ensure a child’s academic and emotional success. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

  • My son began working with The Phonics Framework nearly three years ago. As a struggling learner, he faced challenges with writing, reading comprehension, and retaining information from longer passages. From the very beginning, Ms. Jess created a safe, nurturing, and structured environment that has made all the difference in his progress. Since starting with her, not only has his reading and spelling improved, but his confidence has grown tremendously. He feels supported, understood, and motivated—something we hadn’t experienced elsewhere. The patience, dedication, and genuine care that Ms. Jess pours into her work is truly remarkable. She has been exactly what my son needed to move forward, and for that, we are deeply grateful.
