The 5th edition of the Color Vowel® Chart was developed for teachers and speakers of North American dialects of English.

If you're teaching students who need to learn the vowel sounds that are closer to those of British dialects of English, you can visit our RedBubble shop and purchase a copy of the Commonwealth Edition of the Chart.

Make sure that your Color Vowel® Chart doesn't end up merely as wall art in your classroom! Your English language learners will benefit greatly from interacting with the Chart every day!

If you find that you're not sure what to do once you've introduced your students to Color Vowel, then we recommend that you come train with us and become a Color Vowel® Level 1 Trained Teacher or even a Level 2 Certified Teacher.

You've equipped your classroom, now equip yourself with truly exceptional professional development. Check out our training opportunities at learn.colorvowel.com.
