Major(s) of all individuals presenting this work Bio of all individuals presenting this work I am a dedicated future educator currently pursuing my degree in elementary education, with a strong focus on evidence-based instructional practices and student-centered learning. Through my coursework and field experiences, I have developed skills in lesson planning, classroom management, and analyzing student data to inform instruction. I am committed to creating a supportive and engaging learning environment that promotes academic growth and meets the diverse needs of all students. Poster Title Abstract This research project focused on improving the reading and spelling skills of a 10-year-old student who was performing at a 1st-grade level. By using a Data-Based Instructional Plan, the researcher identified specific weaknesses in the student's ability to decode consonant blends and silent "e" patterns. The intervention included explicit lessons on phonological awareness, phonics rules, and encoding practice. As a result of this targeted support, the student showed measurable growth in his decoding accuracy and a more fluid ability to blend sounds. These findings suggest that individualized, data-driven instruction can effectively bridge learning gaps for struggling readers, with future goals focusing on applying these skills to more complex words and longer sentences.
