Increase your phonological awareness and gain confidence in the use of this powerful brain-based instructional technique.
Color Vowel® Yoga is a collection of simple hand and arm movements that parallel the movement of the jaw, lips, and tongue when producing the vowel sounds of English. These movements serve as physical anchors for producing sounds that the learner may not yet be able to perceive.
Participants should have access to a Color Vowel® Chart poster. (Visit our Shop to order materials.)
This Level 2 course is open to Color Vowel® Level 1 Trained Teachers or teachers taking a Color Vowel® Level 1 Practicum course currently or synchronously.
Anyone who has previously taken a Color Vowel® Yoga class with ELTS may audit this course. Auditors may attend live or asynchronously; however, attending the live Zoom sessions will provide a more robust and useful experience. Auditors do not receive feedback on completed assignments.
Spaces are limited.
