4. Go under cover. Print out a draft copy of your writing, and read it with a blank piece of paper over it, reveal-
ing just one sentence at a time. This technique will encourage a careful line-by-line edit.
5. Watch the speed limit. No matter which proofreading technique(s) you use, slow down. Reading at your
normal speed will not give you enough time to spot errors.
6. Know thyself. Keep track of the kinds of errors you typically make. Common spelling errors can be caught
by spell check if you add the word or words to the spell-check dictionary. When you know what you are
looking for, you are more likely to find it.
