National Grammar Day is an annual American holiday to observe the rules of grammar. Correct pronunciation is important for oral speech, but to show yourself to be a smart person in writing, you need to have a good grasp of grammar. We believe that each of us should have an excellent knowledge of our native language in any form! The holiday is celebrated on March 4.
History
National Grammar Day was initiated by Martha Brockenbrough, a writer from the United States. She is the founder of SPOGG. In her books she paid a lot of attention to the rules of grammar, talked about popular mistakes and other things. According to her idea, the holiday is aimed at actively helping students to master grammar. It is necessary to develop their own methods of teaching, so that children can quickly learn the necessary grammatical statements and, most importantly, successfully apply them in practice.
Today, the celebration of National Grammar Day affects different groups of people: copywriters, magazine editors, journalists, teachers, and just people who are not indifferent to the native language. On this day there are various activities and lectures devoted to improving knowledge and skills in grammar. Literate people are behind the success of society in the future!
