Introduction
The Color Vowel Chart is a visual organizer for the vowel sounds of
American English. By using Color Vowel wall sheets, learners can collect
words that matter to them as they explore one vowel sound in depth. The
example shown at right demonstrates how BLUE (/uw/) words include a wide
variety of spelling patterns.

The pages that follow are best printed in color and may be used in a variety of ways:
Color-Vowel Gallery. Post the sheets on the walls around the classroom. When a
pronunciation question arises during class, have the class identify the primary stressed
syllable and the color of the word in question. (For example, Vancouver = BLUE) Then,
the teacher or a student may write that word on the corresponding color-vowel sheet,
underlining the stressed syllable. Use this strategy throughout the semester or teaching
cycle so that words accumulate on each sheet. At the end of each class, select just one
of the sheets and take a few minutes to review the words there through choral repetition,
drawing attention to the color-vowel in the stressed syllable of each word.
Similar Sounds Scavenger Hunt. Focus in on two or three similar color-vowels, for
example: BLACK, OLIVE, and MUSTARD. Divide students into three groups and assign
each group one color-vowel. Distribute a well-known text to the students (ideally one that
they have already read and understand) and have them look for important words or
phrases that contain their assigned color-vowel in the stressed syllable of the word. This
task will motivate learners to read aloud together with a mindful ear on pronunciation.
(Note: The text should be long enough to contain a good number of words of each colorvowel. Do this activity yourself before you do it in class.)
