I have been busy updating and revamping my Emergent Student Readers!
This has been something I have been meaning to do for quite awhile now. I wasn't really pleased with the order they were listed in, because they weren't listed in the order I teach them to my own students. So I went ahead and fixed that. Now they are listed in order of difficulty. Each reader builds upon the previous reader as the sight words are reviewed and new words are slowly introduced. The sentence patterns change slightly from line to line, to ensure the students focus on the text and do not just memorize a patter that is repeated over and over again.
Set 1 now consists of 7 Emergent Student Readers. Each reader includes a copy for the student to read in class and also a Home Reader to take home.

Also included are sight word flash cards and pocket chart picture cards to go along with each reader.
The following sight words are reviewed in Set 1:
I, see, a, my
I, see, a, the
I, see, a, and, the
I, see, a, and, the, my
I, see, my, the, can, go, you
I, see, my, the, can, go, you, is, in
I, see, a, my, can, is, it, no
I, see, a, my, can, is, it, no
In addition to introducing sight words, this set is geared to help students develop their concept of
word. I have placed dots under each word
in the first five readers to remind students where to point with their finger as they read. I also use this set to introduce the reading strategies of looking at the pictures for a clue and also using beginning sounds to determine unknown words. Rhyming pairs can be reinforced with the 1st, 2nd, and 4th readers in this set.
You will find 6 different readers in Set 2, which continues to build upon Set 1.
The following sight words are reviewed in Set 2:
I, see, my, the, can, is, no, in, on, me, like, look, it
I, see, the, can, you, is, on, me, like, little, we
I, see, the, can, you, is, in, on, look, it, at
I, the, my, is, me, look, at, this, that, am
a, is, this, that, he, she, has, have, do, or
a, my, the, you, is, on, this, that, he, she, do
In addition to introducing sight words, this set is geared to help students develop and apply additional reading strategies. I generally reinforce the following with this set: checking the pictures for a clue, using beginning sound knowledge, thinking about all of the sounds to decode simple words, and making sure what they are reading makes sense.
