Eve Engelbrite

Eve Engelbrite has been writing poems and songs since she was eight. Her first poems were published when she was twelve; the same age when she wrote 4-line poems for all 50 teachers at her junior high school. Nine years later she graduated from ASU with a bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education.

Eve developed her first color-assonant reading system into the product “Color Phonics” in 1994. She wrote ten story-poems she wished to see printed, but 4-color printing was too expensive in the 90’s. After some new additions and refinements to the system, it is now called “Prism Phonics”. It applies 14 colors to letters in the text to aid pronunciation and reading. For example, blue makes the /oo/ sound in the phrase “two new blue shoes” and the underlined letters would all be colored blue.
