Research has shown that the materials and activities in basal reading programs have significantly influenced classroom instruction (Moody, et al., 1999). Therefore, it is important to realize which programs incorporate good instruction techniques.

Several characteristics of the basal programs were evaluated, including flexibility, decodability, readability, and text engagingness.
