R-controlled digraphs, also known as vowel-controlled or bossy R, occur when the letter “r” follows a vowel and influences its pronunciation. The presence of the “r” alters the typical sound of the vowel. They can be found in many English words and are essential for students to master as they progress in their reading and writing skills.
