Hi Vanessa ,

Yes. I teach reading and writing to elementary students, and a first we teach to read sound-by-sound, then word-by-word, and finally idea-by-idea for fluency. However. we need to go back to the beginning, reading aloud (in our minds) to proofread so we read what is on paper instead of what we expect is there. And proofing our own writing is extremely difficult because we know what to expect and our perception fools our brain--or is fooled by it!

Here is the attachment with "comments" that sometimes give alternatives, rationales, or explanations.

Some of the "no space after a period" corrections might be from translating the SOL text representation to my copy of MS Word. But a number of the places where the beginning quotation mark were next to the preceding sentence I had noticed in the original post on SOL.

Chapters of this length take only a few hours to do, so if you sent it to me before you post, I could have it back shortly thereafter--unless work or something is in the way.
