Things to consider
Start with the level that matches your student's current Alfred's Basic Piano Library progress: Book 1A is for students working through the earliest lessons, while Book 1B and Late Elementary collections suit those ready for slightly more independence. Folk Songs for Easy Piano works well as a supplementary collection once students grasp basic technique, since the arrangements support both solo performance and group settings. Both print and digital formats are available; the PDF option lets you print copies as needed for practice or performance.
