So I jumped right on this as I still use the stool and travel method. But I
bet this would be less distracting. Can you talk about the "first reader"
aspect. Here are some things I still run into.
Kids who do not use their personal proofreading checklist
Kids who want me to edit their work
Kids who want me to read every single word before passing in polished work
(which on new tasks I don't mind but again it becomes an editing nightmare!
Keep in mind, most are fine but there are always some that need to be more
independent. Does "first reader" address this?
