Abstract
In this paper we describe the structure and behaviour of an interactive learning environment for reading and writing exercises. This environment lets the teachers configure and personalize the exercises from a set of templates. It also lets them analyse the pupils” results and delivers reports, substantially improving tracking the learning process. To develop this environment, the cognitive processes that form part of reading and writing skills have been taken into account, as well as other aspects such as easy user interfaces, graphical presentation, and visual reinforcement.
