America Commemorates the Skill of Writing

Currently in its ninth year, this yearly commemoration is boosted up by means of tens of thousands of social posts to the #WhyIWrite hashtag.

The National Council of Teachers of English started this yearly episode in 2009 to emphasize the significance of writing. Whether people are dispatching text messages, posting status updates, crafting emails, or jotting down lists, writing has never been more essential to the daily existence of people.

"Powerful, yet not wholly understood, writing surrounds us and our students," revealed NCTE President Jocelyn A. Chadwick, adding, “Empowering them to see, comprehend, examine, and master the audience, purpose, and occasion of writing throughout life's every facet—to use words well—defines our amazing, dauntingly humble, powerful task as educators."

Features comprise:

A prolific website packed with writing sources, podcasts from well-known writers, and actions throughout the nation.
An enthusiastically widespread tweet-up to the hashtag.
 Sustenance from the US Congress with a bipartisan pledge backed by Senator Roberts (R-KS) as well as Senator Casey (D-PA) acknowledging the National Day on Writing.
 Collaborations in the publishing group that created video descriptions from such writers as Jamie Ford, Hart Hanson, Meg Gardiner, Jack Challoner, E. Lockhart and David Barclay Moore.

"It's been incredibly inspiring to convene the Congressional, publishing and education communities to celebrate writing in such a powerful way," stated NCTE Executive Director Emily Kirkpatrick adding,  "This event provides the nation with an opportunity to acknowledge the importance of something teachers dedicate their lives to cultivating every single day."


The National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) is the country's most thorough literacy organization, sustaining over 25,000 teachers throughout the preK–college range. Through the know-how of its members, NCTE has functioned at the vanguard of each key expansion in the teaching and learning of English and the language arts since 1911.
