Dimension

 When I was learning to read at school, I often felt I was slower than others in my class My spelling is generally (good) weak* I find it very challenging to manage my time effectively I can explain things to people much more easily verbally than in my writing I think I'm a highly organized learner In my writing I frequently use the wrong word for my intended meaning I generally remember appoint-ments and arrive on time When I'm reading I sometimes read the same line again or miss out a line altogether I have difficulty putting my writing ideas into a sensible order In my writing at school, I often mixed up similar letters When I'm planning my work I use diagrams or mindmaps rather than lists or bullet points I'm hopeless at rememb ering things like telephone numbers I find following directions to get to places quite straght forward I prefer looking at the big picture rather than focusing on the details My friendss say I often think in unusual or creative ways to solve problems I find it really challenging to make sense of a list of instructions I get my lefts and rights easily mixed up My tutors often tell me that my essays or assignments are confusing to read I get in a muddle when I'm searching for learning resources or information I get really anxious if I'm asked to read out loud  
* this dimension read '... good' in the research QNR and data was subsequently reverse coded to indicate a level of spelling weakness slow reader spelling manage time explain verbally disorgainzed wrong words for meaning remember appointments miss out lines in reading writing order letters mixedup mindmaps memory following directions big picture innovative problem-solving find lists challenging left-right confusion told essays confusing not systematic anxious reader
