All of the above choices are effective perceptual tricks to use when proofreading. Reading backwards helps to identify spelling errors and typos that may be missed when reading forward. Reading aloud helps to catch grammar and syntax errors, as well as awkward phrasing. Covering everything but the line you're reading helps to focus on each line individually and reduces the likelihood of skipping over errors.
