Abstract
Mobile devices create learning opportunities to which you cannot remain indifferent. If you combine these capabilities to specific needs of students and teachers, you will be on the path towards academic success. It was in this context that Letrinhas arose, an information system aimed at improving students' reading literacy developed by the Polytechnic Institute of Tomar (IPT) in response to a challenge by Artur Gonçalves Group of Schools from Torres Novas. Teacher and student adherence to the system and the results obtained suggest a positive impact on the reading literacy of the students involved, as well as it has created a new challenge to authors: expanding Letrinhas to other curricular content, thus responding to a need expressed by the teachers of the group of schools. Thus, by investing on the potential of m-learning, a new version of Letrinhas has been developed that provides new resources enabling the creation of new content based on subject matter taught in any subject area, as well as its automatic assessment. As such, teachers can build interactive learning scenarios that favour the development of skills, reflection and the autonomy of their students.
