Reading aloud helps for sure! The brain is a tricky beast, and sometimes we have to trick it to perform to its best capacity.Laurel Garverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03657218435228802535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4263988256560129564.post-5943181496587343302011-12-07T09:48:20.830-05:002011-12-07T09:48:20.830-05:00Nicole: Hope it's helpful to you.

We have lots more British authors in the current issue, so I have to be extra vigilant, since they have different idioms, spelling and punctuation rules in some instances.<br /><br />Laura: Glad you found it helpful.

I think when I read silently, I tend to catch the typos and misspellings. When I read out loud, I tend to catch punctuation errors. It's weird how the two different approaches make my mind work in two different ways.Susan R.
