Proofreading worksheets are a great tool to help individuals open their eyes to the mistakes that are commonly made. These are used to help teach a person how to spot mistakes in copy. They are similar to those you got as a child when you were learning to write and read. Sometimes, they can be simple, while other times they are progressively more difficult. It is important to use these worksheets as part of your training to become a qualified proof reader.

It may sound strange that you would want to do these worksheets, but in fact, it helps you learn how to spot errors from just glancing at a page. There are errors that are very common, that many people make in spelling. Often times, other mistakes come from typing the wrong key or typing too fast. In proof reading, it is your job to spot these errors and correct them. Also, one of the more difficult tasks that the proof reader needs to do is to spot grammatical errors. So, it is important to know the words that people often misuse. This could be simple mistakes like misspelling then instead of than. Or, they could be using the wrong tense of a word.

As a freelance proof reader, you will come across many things. In order to be able to spot the errors people make, you will need to take some basic training courses. There, you'll be given these sheets that will help train you to spot mistakes that people make and they are a very important tool in learning how to do your job effectively.

Practice makes perfect, they often say! In the course of studying, you'll learn all sorts of tips and guides to spotting mistakes.

We say that it is just simply good business to do a great job every time. To do that, you'll need the right skills. Using proof reading work sheets is one of those skills.
