I need to be able to stop and highlight the words to be fixed, and if I have it in front of me, I might as well read it.Tony Nolandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15090583562737225942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7797188666559531190.post-55800653459452846872013-07-03T14:47:16.676-04:002013-07-03T14:47:16.676-04:00This is the first time I've read it aloud.

It used to catch grammatical errors, but not anymore. I've read too much.

Ideally, I'd be reading TO someone, not just reading it aloud. Then the listener would help me catch things that need to be changed.
