Trish Mylet received a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Arizona where she majored in English. Mylet teaches reading skills, drawing from various methods including the California Phonetic Reading Program, the Monterey Reading Program and the Professor Phonics Program, and is certified as an English as a Second Language tutor through Laubach Literacy International.

Mylet wrote the beginning reader and activity set FUN PHONICS, Children, Today’s Joy! including its Program Guide, and developed the entire phonic program. With Antoinette Sheffield, the illustrator of the FUN PHONICS! set, Mylet co-developed the integrated curriculum of the books and co-publishes the books under the logo Sizzy Books.

It was through her tutoring experience that Mylet discovered the unique technique of focusing on words with short and long vowel letters in the initial position (ax, Ann, Abe, ate) rather than in the medial word position (cat, hat, cake, late) to help beginning readers more easily recognize and distinguish the vowel sounds. Mylet’s success with this innovative method led her to develop and write three new phonic sets which implement this technique.

Mylet, a former nun, store detective, governess, and health spa manager taught preschool in the Head Start program, tutored adults through the Laubach Literacy Program and elementary students through the Monterey reading program. The writer also received an Associate Degree from the Culinary Institute of America in New York. Mylet now lives, writes, and tutors in New Mexico.
