Abstract
This report is meant as a guideline for publishers interested in creating a series of emergent reader books. It addresses some of the various concerns a publisher will face in the process of producing a line of early reader texts, including concerns related to the determining of book levels, editing, and design and production. It provides detailed descriptions of the various readability and levelling techniques available to publishers, and critiques of each system. It also provides a comprehensive look at many of the editorial matters a publisher needs to consider when planning an emergent reader series, including information on decodability, predictability, and accessibility. Finally, it offers a summary of design and production conventions, with detailed discussions on print specifications and cover and interior design.
