'''''ColorSounds''''' was a national [[music video]] program televised on [[PBS]] stations in the mid-1980s.<ref name="PetersPeters1984">{{cite book|last1=Peters|first1=Dan|last2=Peters|first2=Steve|last3=Merrill|first3=Cher|title=Why knock rock?|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=iGrsAAAAMAAJ|accessdate=11 April 2012|date=July 1984|publisher=Bethany House Publishers|isbn=9780871234407|page=42}}</ref> ''ColorSounds'' taught viewers how to read and speak [[English language|English]] creatively through the use of music videos.<br />
<br />
In this series, a music video, the same one that would appear on channels such as [[MTV]] and [[VH1]] is presented, with the lyrics shown [[karaoke]]-style on the bottom of the screen, with words associated with the video's focus highlighted in various colors.<br />
<br />
For example, if a music video featured [[noun]]s, every noun in the lyrics would be highlighted in red; accordingly, if another music video featured vowels sounds such as "[[a]]" all the a's would be highlighted in gray.<br />
<br />
ColorSounds presented an effective learning program through its multimodal approach to teaching and learning language.<br />
<br />
In addition, ''ColorSounds'' also noted and corrected spelling mistakes and poor grammar in the original lyrics.<br />
<br />
The show had no host, announcer or theme songs—the topics to be covered in that particular episode is displayed silently as a static caption at the start of the program or segment.<br />
<br />
''Color Sounds'' was packaged in two formats—a 30-minute version for general PBS scheduling, and a 15-minute version for use during in-school telecasts.<br />
