Weekly Writing Tip: Read Aloud

Before you turn in a paper, read it out loud to yourself. Hearing what you have written will allow you to catch spelling errors, change wording, and clarify any points that don't quite sound the way you meant. You can also have someone else read your paper to you. Sometimes, when we have read our own work over and over, we can miss something even when reading aloud. It is always good to bring in a second set of eyes, and ears.
