Progressive Emergent Readers, Level 1, Books 1 - 20 by Phonics Advantage

The Phonics Advantage Progressive Emergent Reader Books slowly progress in the number of words on the page, number of words in a sentence, and the number of sentences on a page.  The emergent readers reinforce sight-word vocabulary and word families.  Great care was taken to use small decodable words, and to review words from earlier stories.

These emergent readers are formatted for easy reading on student’s digital devices.  They can also be read on all computer screens, and be presented on white boards for whole-class reading experiences.  The emergent readers can be downloaded to student’s digital devices, emailed to student’s homes, or posted on a class website that is password protected and open to your classroom only.

This download is for the 20 emergent readers in Level 1.  Level 1 is mostly themed books written with small decodable words with one or two short sentences on each page.  The product is a zip file containing four PDF files, each having five emergent readers.  For subject diversity, each PDF of five emergent readers contains a book on animals (pets, hamsters, spiders, horses), a trip (trip on a ship, Niagara Falls, a hike, a trip to the library), and something to do (plant flowers, make soup, create coffee-filter butterflies).

The twenty books in Level 1 are the first part of an early reading series. Level 2 comes in two parts: Books 1 – 15 and Books 16 – 30.  Level 2 is a mixture of themed books and short stories.  Level 2 has two to three sentences per page.   Like Level 1, Level 2 focuses on word families, small decodable words, and common word wall words.

Level 1 Progressive Emergent Readers contain twenty emergent readers presented in groups of five books (four PDFs) combined in a zip file. Each emergent reader is eight pages long. At the end of each set of five books is a word list for student review that allows teachers to see how the books fit in with their curriculum. Also, at the end of each set of books is a review of the main word families found in the emergent readers, and a phonogram review page.

The 20 Progressive Emergent Readers in Level 1 have been formatted for easy reading on student’s digital devices – meaningly, their position on the page and the size of the font is formatted so that it fits smaller screens with little or no adjustments, and the large-font words are easy to read on a smaller screen.
