Question: 1 / 350

Which strategy is not part of the START strategy for proofreading?

Read out loud

Spell Check

Take a break

Incorporate audience feedback

The strategy of incorporating audience feedback is not part of the START strategy for proofreading. The START acronym stands for specific techniques aimed at enhancing the proofreading process. Each component focuses on individual actions that help improve the clarity and correctness of the written material.

Reading out loud helps identify awkward phrasing and errors that might be overlooked when reading silently. Utilizing spell check aids in catching spelling errors but should be used alongside manual checking since automated tools may miss homophones or context-sensitive errors. Taking a break is crucial because it allows the proofreader to return to the text with fresh eyes, making it easier to spot mistakes.

Incorporating audience feedback is a valuable strategy in broader writing and editing processes, but it doesn't specifically align with the immediate tasks associated with proofreading, which are focused on self-review and correction. Therefore, this is why audience feedback is not included in the START strategy.
