National Words Matter Week 2008 was celebrated March 2-8, 2008. If you missed our Event on Facebook , we hope that you'll plan to join us March 1-7, 2009!
What is National Words Matter Week?
National Words Matter Week is an annual, national observance sponsored by the National Association of Independent Writing Evaluators to highlight the importance of words in communication. It takes place during the first full week in March.
How Can You Participate?
2009: We're planning for 2009 right now! In addition to sharing word-related stories during NWMW, we plan to have a few brief lesson plans available so that teachers and homeschoolers can easily share in the fun.
2008: Join us at our Facebook event site to share word-related stories for the first annual Words Matter Week. You're welcome to submit stories about Word Super-Heros--people or organizations that work to shore up the standards of written English; funny errors you've spotted in print; or recommendations of good resources for logophiles (word lovers). Our only request is that all comments and submissions be completely family-friendly.
More information is available on the National Words Matter Week Media Page.
