This proofreading practice set is designed to give students extensive practice proofreading typical business documents. For each of the 40 jobs, students proofread a business document and correct errors using standard proofreaders' marks. Assignments include errors in keyboarding, grammar and punctuation, format and content.

The set includes these features:
  • Several jobs require students to use references or source copy. The order of assignments can be adapted to meet course goals.
  • The documents used in the set are realistic business doucments.
The Instructor's Key provides a correctly marked copy of each assignment. The Instructor's Key provides suggestions for grouping assignments for emphasis in continuity of business communications, formatting skills, or concentration skills. The set can be used in a variety of courses: English, advanced keyboarding, shorthand, or as a proofreading module for office procedures.
