In response to the situation, this study aims to develop smarlogue (combination of smart and analogue) type primary English reading program in which classroom based reading instruction could occur both in an online and offline format. To accomplish the objective, the study set up two research tasks: to design a smarlogue type primary English reading program and to illustrate how to apply picture books selected for the program. The researcher started by selecting thirty-three picture books according to three different categories. To begin, twenty picture books were selected in accordance to English textbooks from 3rd to 6th grade. Then, science and art subjects were selected for content integrated reading, and four picture books in each subject were selected and analyzed briefly. Additionally, five picture books were selected and analyzed for narrow reading. The second task was achieved by providing some activities in detail at the initiation and sharing stages. For this purpose, eight picture books out of the thirty-three selected books in the first task were utilized. Some suggestions are provided for follow-up studies.
