This contribution is aimed at analyzing the digital learning tools developed within the research and development project Linum: Reading, speaking and writing with Children’s Literature and digital tools (France, Oct. 2014 - Oct. 2017). Conceived as a didactic and pedagogical prototype for enhancing the study of literary reading at primary school, it also serves research purposes by gathering data on a selection of activities realized by pupils and teachers during the scientific testing of the resource. Linum thus allows an analysis of the developing perspectives of the resource and an accurate description of the actual teaching-learning practices led by its usage. The article explores these two aspects: it illustrates on the one hand how the resource attempted to include in its construction the most recent research in literature teaching and, on the other hand, how teachers have effectively used the platform and its tools in their classes. After having defined the pedagogical and theoretical framework of the project, as well as the technological constraints that have guided the design of the resource, we will describe the platform and its functionalities, here considered as literary teaching devices. Finally, two case studies will exemplify some possible usages, while proving how digital tools can contribute to organize and reveal the effective literary reading practices at school.
