“…The given example very well shows the need to use tools that validate and promote the necessary conditions to ensure the improvement of this skill in students with reading difficulties (Manso et al, 2015).…”

“…Despite this technological evolution, through an analysis performed to applications for mobile devices available in Portugal (Manso et al, 2015), we found that none of them facilitated the evaluation of reading skills according to the national guidelines for the teaching of Portuguese at the basic education level. On the other hand, they did not allow to choose the texts to be included, selected according to the needs of each individual student, or the monitoring of learning.…”

“…The positive impact on improving learning in the students involved and the high degree of satisfaction of its users (teachers and students), coupled with the potential of mobile technologies, has created a new challenge: expanding Letrinhas to learning content of any subject area, suited to individual students and with automatic content evaluation. The new version of Letrinhas allows to create new learning scenarios, placing the student at the centre of the whole process and the teacher as a facilitator of learning (Manso et al, 2015). This paper describes the new version of Letrinhas and presents results of its use and evaluation.…”

“…Given its complexity (Manso et al, 2015), the learning process of reading can, for many students, be slow and time-consuming, often bringing out feelings of frustration and low self-esteem. That's why some authors (Cruz, 2016;Shaywitz, 2008) have supported the idea that action to deal with reading difficulties should focus on three main aspects: 1) early detection; 2) prevention; 3) re-education.…”

“…It is therefore mandatory to identify children at risk for reading difficulties and ensure that all actions to assess reading literacy will put students on a scale of performance and will effectively act on the problems identified (Manso et al, 2015).…”

The Letrinhas information system contributes to the improvement of students' reading literacy combining the potential of mobile devices and the specific needs of students and teachers. This information system has emerged within the framework of a partnership established between the Instituto Politécnico de Tomar (IPT) and the Artur Gonçalves Cluster of Schools, in Torres Novas, Portugal. After three years of the creation of the tool and its use in a real learning environment, the evaluation already carried out suggests a high degree of satisfaction on the part of teachers and students, as well as a very positive impact on improving the reading skills of the students involved in the project. The latest version of Letrinhas has new features which lead to the specific challenges and needs of the teachers in the above-mentioned cluster of schools. Being so, in addition to the evaluation and improvement of reading skills, the new version provides features that enable the creation of educational scenarios promoting learning environments that enhance, not only the autonomy of students, but also their motivation.

donde México se encuentra por debajo del promedio en la Organización para la Cooperación y el Desarrollo Económico (OCDE) [1], esto se debe a la falta de hábito por esta actividad donde más del 70% de los mexicanos no lee un solo libro al año [2], por tal motivo se busca promover la lectura a través del uso de nuevas herramientas tecnológicas. El objetivo de este trabajo es realizar una propuesta como estrategia para atender y fortalecer el aprendizaje de la lectura y la escritura utilizando las Tecnologías de Información y Comunicación (TIC). Para ello se utilizó una metodología cualitativa y se aplicaron instrumentos para la recolección de información para analizar las prácticas que son utilizadas por docentes y alumnos. De lo anterior se diseñó un software educativo que permite a los alumnos leer, analizar y comprender textos y posteriormente darle un uso en la vida cotidiana, además con esta herramienta podrán adentrarse en la lectura sintiéndose parte de ella, despertando su creatividad e imaginación.
