Abstract	This study investigated the implementation, compliance, and perceived effectiveness of the National Reading Program (NRP) among elementary teachers in the Schools Division of Iloilo during the academic year 2024–2025. Guided by a descriptive-correlational research design, the study examined how teachers carried out the prescribed reading interventions, the extent to which they adhered to program guidelines, and how effective they believed the NRP was in improving learners’ reading performance. Data were gathered through a researcher-developed questionnaire that underwent expert validation and pilot testing to ensure reliability and clarity of items. Findings revealed that teachers generally implemented the program as intended, regularly using reading drills, screening tools, and remedial sessions. They also demonstrated strong adherence to the guidelines, consistently completing required assessments and documentation. Teachers perceived the NRP as beneficial to learners, particularly in strengthening foundational reading skills such as fluency and word recognition, although improvements in reading comprehension were observed to be more gradual. Relationships among the variables indicated that when teachers implemented the program more thoroughly and complied more closely with its requirements, they tended to view it as more effective in addressing learners’ literacy needs. Finally, the effective implementation and consistent compliance are essential components of a successful reading program. It recommends enhancing teacher training, providing adequate instructional resources, strengthening home–school collaboration, and maintaining regular monitoring and support to sustain and further improve the impact of the National Reading Program on learners’ literacy development.
