Morphology
The noun–noun combination 'reading' + 'program' transparently signals 'a program for reading' so a B1 learner who knows both words will get a general sense that it is a program related to reading. However, the specific technical sense (a software application that reads text aloud) depends on interpreting 'program' as computer software and on contextual/technical knowledge, so the precise meaning is not fully predictable from the constituents alone.
Etymology
Reading program joins reading (looking at words) and program (a planned set of lessons). Think of it like an 'exercise program' for the mind with step-by-step activities to train reading, so it means a course to help someone learn or improve reading skills.
