A student at the emergent reading stage requires texts with:

Less picture support and high text complexity
Minimal words per page and predictable text
Dense and complex sentence structures
No words on each page

The correct answer is: Minimal words per page and predictable text

At the emergent reading stage, students need texts that are just getting used to identifying letters and sounds, having large blocks of dense, complex text can be overwhelming for them. That eliminates Option C. Since the students are still in the early stages, having no words on each page would make it very difficult to practice reading. This eliminates Option D. Option A is also incorrect because students at this stage still require picture support to help them understand and make connections with the text. Option B, minimal words per page and predictable text, is the most suitable choice for students at the emergent reading stage as it allows them to practice reading with support while gradually building their skills and confidence.
