Both hills together. Can you see the difference? Pap (mesa) and Pip (pillar) — same /p/, different vowels.

Both hills now!
Look at the colors:
coral mesa
for /æ/ words and
green pillar
for /ɪ/ words. Your eyes must switch between them.
Same consonant, different hills
Pap
(mesa) and
Pip
(pillar) both have /p/. But the vowel changes the hill shape. This teaches your brain that consonants stay the same across vowels.
Ready for fluency
Now that you know both hills, you can read faster. Your eyes will dance between the coral and green without thinking.
