Abstract
The development of our Monitor for Initial Reading (MIR) is based on two
global ideas. The first is that the software has to be developed on an incremental
basis. MIR must be made so that it can be put to test and modified at almost
any phase of development. The second idea underlying MIR is that individual
reacling exercises, which are dedicated to certain subskills of reading, should
be the most elementary constituents of MIR, and not descriptions of what
is learned in initial reading. The motivations and some of the consequences
of these two guidelines are presented in this paper. A short description of the
structure of the program is aIso given and the possible generalization to domains
other than initial reading is discussed .
