For years I have told my students they could improve their writing greatly if they would just read their work aloud before turning it in. I'm pretty sure almost none of them do it. This year I'll have more ammunition thanks to writing guru Ann Wylie's "Benefits of Reading Aloud." She states reading aloud reduces errors, makes your copy more conversational, makes your copy sound better, and cuts through the clutter. She also provides excellent examples or quotes from authors for each. Thanks, Ann! Let's hope my students take heed!
