How can I get better at proofreading?

This is a big question.  Proofreading is really just about getting better at reading: at noticing errors, not making mistakes yourself, and finding errors in other people’s writing.  There are some easy tips to help you along with this.

I noticed different word choices "praise" and "celebrate".

That’s right! In your first sentence, the writer makes the word choice “praise” to refer to something positive. However, the second sentence does not clearly indicate that the word choice is positive, so the use of “celebrate” helps with clarity.

I should be able to find most errors just by reading slow and going through all of the text.
