How can I proofread without missing errors?

When I’m proofreading…

👇 👇👇 👇  👇    👇

I read like a small child.

🗣️ I read the words aloud.

🐢I read them slowly.

👆I follow along with my finger.

I find this particularly helpful when reading sentences with a lot of two/three letter words in them.

Our eyes can gloss over these all too easily.

🏝️All I want to do is get back to the island.

It’s my strategy for making sure that there are no missing words.

And it works. ✔️

🔎Try it next time you want to double check that something you’ve written is right.
