Reading programs are structured educational frameworks designed to organize, sequence, and support instruction aimed at developing learners’ reading abilities through planned combinations of instructional goals, teaching approaches, learning activities, and assessment procedures [1]. Within linguistic education and pedagogy, a reading program refers specifically to an organized system of literacy instruction that targets the acquisition and development of reading-related knowledge and skills, including processes involved in word recognition, decoding, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension [1][2]. Unlike individual reading activities or isolated instructional techniques, a reading program constitutes a coordinated pedagogical design in which instructional components are systematically arranged according to defined learning objectives and learner needs [2]. Reading programs may differ in theoretical orientation, instructional structure, and targeted reading outcomes, but they are generally characterized by their planned scope, curricular organization, and integration of multiple components of reading instruction [1][2].
