Sight reading practice order?

Sight reading practice order? was created by Mandabplus3
I need some guidance on what albums to use for sight reading...some sort of general order would be great. I think a number of people would be interested in a sort of grouping of the different levels for each album. Maybe just a basic these are first, these 2nd and these 3rd and 4th...
I am learning the songs from favorite classics 1. I think my sight reading is supposed to be a bit easier than that album right? So which albums are? I have been through nursery primer, and if I use it much more I will have those pieces memorized

Amanda,
This is a great question!
I use the following order of the Albums for the sight-reading (from the simple to advanced)
1. Nursery Primer
2. Favorite Classics Primer
3. Nursery 1
4. Christmas Varols
5. Christmas Classics
6. Favorite Classics 1
7. Boogie 1
8. Boogie 2
9. Favorite Classics 2
10 Favorite Classics 3
A also want you to know that if you see # or b after Treble and Bass Clev, the piece is going to be harder to play in a level or even two.
This is why, I would recommend you to do as following:
1. Read first the pieces with no # or b
2. Read only pieces with #s
3 Read only pieces with bs
In future you will start feeling the different tonalities and won't make as many frustrating mistakes with all the sharps and flats being overlooked. But now we have to be nice and loving to ourselves! We are BEGINNERS!

You are welcime!
Looking forward to see your progress
I had a lesson today with a student who is taking lessons for 10 years already. Of cause, she started with the program, when she was just 4.
Now she plays complicated pieces from the regular sheet music.
I was thinking: 'Ah, I will watch Amanda playing some nice composition created by Jacob off the sheet music one day'
It was such a happy thought!
