Overview

Have you ever... submitted what you thought was a perfect paper but your professor did not? wondered why you can't seem to catch your own writing errors? been overwhelmed by the number and complexity of grammar and punctuation rules? If so, this book is for you. Professors lament that students don't proofread. Students lament that they can't. Created to give students the skill to effectively proofread their own essays, Four-Stage Proofreading is the only book on the market that thoroughly covers the last (and all-important) stage of the writing process. Through bite-size chunks of readable, simply-explained information and a sequence of progressive exercises, students learn a systematic and empowering process of proofreading and correcting their own errors. For developmental writing students, four chapters designed to be implemented after writing and revising four separate assignments focus on incrementally building proofreading skills in the following order: fragments, run-on sentences, parallelism, and punctuation. For college-level freshman composition students, the final chapter directs students to any chapters they need to work through individually while walking them through proofreading their own essays stage-by-stage: isolating sentences, analyzing sentences, correcting errors, and returning sentences to paragraph form for the final polish. No matter who you are, Four-Stage Proofreading can help you turn your own essay into a shining star.
