I'm seeking advice from teachers with dyslexia. How do you work with, not against your dyslexia in an educational setting?

I'm currently in an alternative path to teaching certification for early childhood education. I will be teaching grade 1. I have a mentor teacher who I will work with this year, and I am a bit concerned about my dyslexia potentially getting in the way of things. My main issues are spelling and directional stuff.

I travel on Amtrak and then ride the Metra out of Chicago union station to get to my final destination. Previously I have boarded Metra late night and early weekend mornings so my suitcase and 2 backpacks have not been an issue. I am planning my next trip and it looks like I will be boarding at a busier train time. Will my luggage be an issue?

Previously I have just had my suitcase on the ground next to me with one backpack on it and my other backpack in the seat next to me or on my lap. Are busier train times such as 3:55 pm on a Friday or early Monday morning crowded enough strangers sit together?
