How can my ds learn to proof read? His spelling and grammar are excellent in theory, but his written work is full of mistakes, even after he says he has proof read it. He just doesn't seem to see them. I can't help because it seems to come naturally to me- I can't remember not being able to proof read. He takes a lot of care over the content of his written work and gets good marks- but exasperated comments about elementary mistakes. Any ideas? I thought about those old fashioned passages with no punctuation I remember being given at school- but I'm not sure that would help. I'm sure he could do them easily. It's just proof reading his own work that's the problem!
