It is a core reading program that is used to teach children to read.
It is usually a grade-levelled series of textbooks produced by an educational publisher which focus on teaching reading either by a code-emphasis approach or a meaning-emphasis approach.

It is very dependent on books and instructional materials, in terms of its presentation.

Meaning-emphasis program
Tends to stress the concept of "reading for understanding" and the accompanying workbooks have questions about the stories read, vocabulary lessons and lessons encouraging students to write about what they have read.
