After teaching young children for many years, Evelyn became inspired by the book, Why Johnny Can’t Read, and began her commitment to explore how one learns to read. While teaching in Germany and Japan in Department of Defense schools, she developed a technique and a plan for teaching reading, employing phonics as a basis. In Beirut, Lebanon, when she was teaching at the American School, Evelyn began to pilot her program in her classroom. Immediately, she noted remarkable success, with students beginning to read with confidence. While residing in Camp LeJeune, NC, Evelyn took the bold step and had her material printed. Many teachers, tutors, and parents have used See Me Read and the companion Handbook for the Teaching of Reading since then with great success.
Evelyn finished her teaching career with the Dependents’ School System in Quantico, VA. During this time, she continued to use her method to teach with continuing success, and she inspired numerous teaching professionals to adopt the program as part of their teaching curriculum. Evelyn’s commitment to teach reading followed her into retirement where, as a volunteer, she taught adults to read using the See Me Read materials.
Evelyn’s method continues to be a valuable resource to anyone involved in teaching reading. She has finally decided to make this body of work available to a larger audience so that others may continue to teach students to be successful readers.
