This paper foregrounds the significant place the process of proofreading has in developing a spelling conscience in learners. Most teachers expect students to engage in the process of proofreading but few explicitly teach the process or strategic action required.
The strategic action discussed in the article can be extended and updated by reading other articles available on the Foundation website spelling section which highlight the importance of explicitly teaching all linguistic threads that weave through words.
