Abstract
The article sets out to present some aspects of the research conducted as part of the LINUM project: “Reading, speaking and writing with Children’s Literature and Digital tools” (Oct. 2014 – Oct. 2017). Created at the interface between research and development, the LINUM app and platform provide tools for teaching and learning literary reading in primary schools. The resource provides a means of adapting or creating activities and exercises using a set of editable templates, or teachers can simply use the pre-prepared literary sequences provided without any modification. The study explores the development, modelling and theoretical background of the program through the prism of “exercises”, in a teaching and learning process which is reconfigured by the digital environment offered. After presenting LINUM as an “exercise factory” for teaching literary reading, the educational approaches of five teachers involved in the experiment are considered, with a particular focus on their lesson planning, the exercises and activities prepared for pupils, and the use of the resource’s different functions
