Abstract This article presents aspects of the history of reading in Colombia during the first half of the twentieth century, and the characterization of specific reading practices during this period. Intellectuals of the governments of the Liberal Republic acted as essential cultural agents performing various campaigns that contributed to the expansion of the reading public: creating literacy programs, libraries and cultural missions. Within these literacy campaigns, major changes took place in the design and use of materials for the teaching of reading, which pointed at differentiating rural and urban readers.
