I&#8217;m sure that someone somewhere has scheduled an event with party hats and noisemakers. I thought perhaps we&#8217;d content ourselves with a quiet celebration and a few links to interesting grammar resources. If you visit the links from the NGD site, I&#8217;d suggest you preview them before sharing them with your family, as I haven&#8217;t checked them all.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s begin with a podcast of &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/grammar.quickanddirtytips.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Top Ten Grammar Myths<\/a>&#8221; from Grammar Girl. She tackles the myths that trip would-be grammar experts everywhere, including items such as the true definition of run-on sentences, possessives, the use of &#8216;a&#8217; or &#8216;an,&#8217; split infinitives, and the number one myth&#8211; ending a sentence with a preposition. <!--more-->Whether you listen to the podcast or just read the transcript, you&#8217;re sure to enjoy her good-humored debunking of these common myths. (If you&#8217;d like to read more about grammar myths, don&#8217;t forget <a href=\"http:\/\/http:\/\/www.janice-campbell.com\/2008\/01\/29\/miss-thistlebottoms-hobgoblins-a-review\/\" target=\"_blank\">Miss Thistlebottom&#8217;s Hobgoblins.)<\/a><\/p>\n<p>At the <a href=\"http:\/\/spandg.blogspot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">GrammarBlog<\/a> and the <a href=\"http:\/\/mightyredpen.wordpress.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Mighty Red Pen<\/a> blog, you&#8217;ll find a number of photos of very funny grammar errors. You can learn a lot from these! If you find yourself thinking, &#8220;There&#8217;s nothing wrong with that!&#8221; as you look at the execrable examples, you can be sure that you too, are a grammar miscreant.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.waywordradio.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">A Way With Words<\/a> is a delightful radio show\/podcast from National Public Radio. You can&#8217;t listen to this show without eventually becoming reasonably word-savvy. Since you can listen online at your convenience, I suggest listening when your children are a captive audience. It&#8217;s good-quality information, well-produced.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, I wouldn&#8217;t want to miss the chance to encourage you to check out <a href=\"http:\/\/www.grammarmadeeasy.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Grammar Made Easy: Writing A Step Above<\/a> by Connie Schenkelberg. It&#8217;s a one-step, one-time through grammar course that can be used for multiple ages. I used it with my boys, and learned quite a bit, including diagramming, in the process. If you want to feel more comfortable with grammar, GME is a an excellent resource.<\/p>\n<p>As you look through the various celebrations of the day, please remember that it&#8217;s best to enjoy well-written English without being unkind to others. As you evaluate your children&#8217;s writing, do so with grace, not just because &#8220;the sweetness of lips increases learning&#8221; (Proverbs 16:21), but also because you would want others to be equally generous with your errors.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a lot of fun to laugh at misplaced apostrophes or misspelled words on public signs (and it&#8217;s educational, if you point out why it&#8217;s incorrect), but it&#8217;s not so kind to point out errors in private correspondence or to discuss children&#8217;s errors with others. There&#8217;s a difference between educational fun and ridicule, and I hope we can always remember that kindness and gentleness breed trust, and trust is essential for teaching to the heart of a child.<\/p>\n<p>On a final note, the first week of March is also <em>Words Matter<\/em> Week, sponsored by the National Association of Independent Writing Evaluators (NAIWE). I&#8217;m sure you can think of many ways to celebrate!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Announcement<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Palm Tree Pundit is hosting this week&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/palmtreepundit.blogspot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Homeschool Blog Carnival<\/a>.
