There is only 1 amazing YOU! When we get to know ourselves and how we learn, we can successfully make the education system work for us. What is your brainprint of interests, strengths, and challenges? We all have challenges, but there is always a workaround to help us push through those difficulties. It’s not cheating. My workarounds help me share all my learning with you.
Here are some of my workarounds.

Here are some of my workarounds.
- Directions are difficult for me
- So I use my GPS.
- Spelling is challenging
- So I use Grammarly to check all of my writing work.
- Writing can be laborious
- So I use voice to text or type my responses.
- I need lots of time to process and share my thoughts.
- Math Calculation
- I use my calculator or conversion charts.
- More Processing Time
- So I ask for my tests to be untimed.
- Reading fluency and comprehension
- When reading a novel, I listen to the book and follow along with my print copy.
- I then stop at the end of each page and discuss what I read with a partner.
- If SparkNotes videos are available on YouTube, I watch those before I read a book to understand the “big idea” of what I will be reading.
