Jacques Rancière, one of the world’s most important and influential living philosophers, explores the nature of consensus in contemporary politics.

Ian Smythe highlights state of the art technology for those teachers with responsibility for supporting and enabling dyslexic students. This book takes the reader back to basics, from understanding the needs of the dyslexic individual to getting the most from available technology. It does this by providing frameworks from theoretical perspectives and following this through to practical implementation, including reviews of the most common types of software. This preview chapter presents software with respect to the defining characteristic of dyslexic individuals: literacy acquisition. It looks at the different skills that can be taught, and the research to back up the claims of technology, as well as discussing the independence of the research.
