Teach English Phenomenally
Fall in love with teaching all over again.
Color Vowel® bridges the gap between spoken and written English-- a gap too often ignored at the learner's expense. Get trained in the elegant simplicity of Color Vowel®. Your students will love you for it!
Get StartedColor Vowel® works.
Color Vowel® is a comprehensive answer to how spoken English works and what we can do to teach reading, vocabulary, and pronunciation not just well, but phenomenally.
We organize spoken English.
The Color Vowel® Organizer is a daily-use tool that helps learners categorize and practice words and phrases by the way they sound.
We build phonemic awareness.
The Color Vowel® Chart helps you and your learners identify how English sounds as they build speaking confidence.
We take a brain-based approach.
Because spelling is not pronunciation, we teach spoken English through the use of gestures, images, and rhythm.
Here's the plan.

I can't thank you enough for an amazing experience at Color Vowel Basics. [It gave me] the strategy and structure I was looking for on behalf of my students. The work you have done is truly remarkable. It's true that simplicity lies at the far side of complexity.
I am completely in awe of this teaching tool and the techniques that have been presented. I thought the R-controlled vowel explanations were brilliant. I plan to go all the way through Level 3 in the training.
I love using the Color Vowel® Approach because it works! Students tell me how helpful it has been not only for pronunciation but also for spelling, specifically for students for whom the Roman alphabet is new. I am so thankful to have this resource!
