I also tell my students to read their work aloud. It's one of the best things that you can do as a writer, especially when you've got a lot of dialogue, or you're trying to capture a particular character's speech patterns. As you read, you will hear the errors, like sentences that are too long (anything where you have to stop to take a breath halfway through is probably too long!) or poorly phrased passages. Super bonus points if you have a friend/con crit partner who listens as you read aloud!
Also, hi, everyone! I guess this is my introduction! Welp! :)
