Common mistakes
The misconceptions stored on this entity, with the correction to give.
Confident students rush proofreading and skip the checking step.

Learners over-generalise a special case of proofreading to every situation.
Correction: Present a deliberate non-example and ask why the rule fails.
Teacher tips

- · Use the misconception list below as your live marking checklist.
- · Exit ticket: three items, one from each difficulty band.
Parent tips
- · Ask your child to explain Proofreading back to you in their own words.
- · Two short sessions beat one long one — ten minutes is plenty.
- · If they stall, drop to the prerequisite below rather than repeating the same question.
Real-life applications
- · Proofreading in everyday measurement, money and time.
- · Proofreading inside later unit work in english.
- · Proofreading in exam questions that hide the method inside a story.
