INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Shake the can before beginning, and hold it about 6 inches (15 cm) away from the rim. Apply a very thin layer! If you spray too much, it will drip, run, and ruin the look of your rims. Again, work your way from the top of the rim to the bottom, using short back-and-forth strokes. Avoid touching the rim to see if it’s dry, which could smudge the finish. Instead, wait 30 minutes before adding the second layer. Take your time when spraying the clear coat so that the entire rim is evenly coated. It’s best to let the clear coat dry fully before moving on. If the clear coat isn’t dry, you could ruin the finish and have the start the entire project over. If you can’t wait 24 hours, wait at least 12 hours before removing the masking tape. Once the clear coat is completely dry, you can remove the masking tape and the masking paper or drop cloths. Don’t forget to replace the center cap as well. Pick up rim polish from your local auto parts store. Apply it according to the package directions. This will help restore the shine of the rims and make them look new.

SUMMARY: Spray a thin layer of clear coat over the rims. Let the clear coat dry for 30 minutes, then add another layer. Allow the clear coat dry for 12-24 hours. Remove the masking tape and replace the center cap. Polish the rims to restore their shine.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: A child who has dyslexia may find it hard to read clocks, or to use typical written schedules. Try using picture schedules to help the child know what the day will bring. These can be hand-drawn, downloaded and printed from online sources, or found in an app of a smartphone.  Consider setting a phone alarm to provide additional reminders for time management. Set a limit on the time the student should expect to spend on homework, as a student who has dyslexia may spend more time than his peers on the same material. Since sequencing is difficult for most people with dyslexia, you can help support them by showing them the smaller steps that make up a larger task. Use checklists, or picture lists for younger students.  For example, providing a "homework checklist" which includes not only the pages to be read, and worksheets to be completed, but also steps like "get pen or pencil", "write your name on the top of the page," and "put homework in school folder when finished." If the student's visual memory is poor, rote copying will not be an effective way of learning. Instead, offer notes or handouts to help the student learn the information. Folders or binders with pockets to help a student organize his materials. Use color-coding, which supports separating the materials into different subjects.  Keep pens and pencils in a packet within the notebook for easy access. It can be a good idea to check and make sure that a student with dyslexia has the homework assignment written down correctly, and placed in the same position within his notebook every night. Consider providing a homework checklist to help with organization. Automated processes, the kind of rote memorization that allows for easy access to familiar activities, is often more challenging for someone with dyslexia. Poor memory recall is one of the hallmarks of the dyslexia. A better way of learning is to teach a person with dyslexia to rely on models that can provide a framework for effective learning.  An example of such a framework is the rule “I before E except after C…” which can help a person who has dyslexia with spelling. Other supports include providing acronyms for accessing organizational systems. For instance, SLUR might be taught as a way to remember “Socks, left (drawer), Underwear, right (drawer).” Studies suggest that people with dyslexia may find reading easier when using an e-reader rather than printed paper. E-readers limit the amount of text appearing on a single line, which prevents visual crowding on the page.  In particular, people who have dyslexia and who have issues with visual attention may benefit from the use of e-readers. Some people who have dyslexia also prefer using certain fonts with e-readers.

SUMMARY:
Use visual reminders to help with time management. Break tasks down into smaller parts. Provide folders to support organization. Help a person with dyslexia create models to support learning. Use an electronic reader (e-reader).
