  abstract: 'This case study examines the development of phonics skills in an English Language Learner through targeted instruction in R-controlled vowels. The participant, a six-year-old first-grade student, demonstrated below-grade-level phonics skills on the CORE phonics screener, particularly in decoding R-controlled vowel patterns. A five-day intervention was implemented, focusing on explicit instruction and practice with AR, OR, ER, IR, and UR patterns through engaging, multisensory activities that supported identification, reading, and writing skills.'

  student_bio: 'A dedicated Elementary Education major with a passion for fostering creativity and curiosity in young learners. I bring a well-rounded skill set that blends my love for creativity, art, and technology into engaging, student-centered learning experiences. My interest in teaching began at a young age while volunteering at a local elementary school, where I discovered the joy of supporting students and helping them grow. Since then, I have developed strong instructional and classroom management skills through my studies, which I enjoy applying in the field.'
