I want a co-conspirator for some research. I made a website, www.geocities.com/carjug , which features a vowel sound color code. It works, here's the preliminary results:

1) Color codes do not affect dyslexia. Six confirmed dyslexic people tried the site, none benefited.
2) Some people do experience an increase in fluency when they use the color code. I suspect they have decoding problems, I do not believe they have developmental dyslexia.
3) Fluent readers have no interest in the stuff. This includes teachres and researchers.
4) Several schoolchildren tried it and "lapped it up".

I believe the resource is ready for testing with children, and I want for some professionals to see it work. If you need a research topic, then consider giving this project a whirl. It is a lot of fun to watch someone read fluently for the first time!
