Radio dictation – an amazing mass event

November 9 Ukraine traditionally celebrates the Day of Ukrainian literature and language. Members of the student scientific circle “Montenegro” led by Z. Varavkina and O. Yakovenko could not possibly ignore this date and have attracted students of 2nd – 4th years, and teaching staff to write dictation of national unity.

The idea of writing radio dictation occurred 16 years ago after a trip Ukrainian delegation to Poland Radio, which then just took such action. It turns out that these dictations write in many countries.

There is an international writing dictations idea that each country implements its own way and attaches to their own national holidays.

Radio dictation – is an event in which it is worth to at least once to take part! It brings together all participants, regardless of age or social status. It gives a special sense of belonging to a common cause, causes hear beating in unison at every heavy punctuation, all united around language.

We bring up the younger generation

Yakovenko, was in 3-B class of high school number 101, the Day of literacy was held, an event dedicated to the birth of written language in Ukraine and abroad. She told of Kyiv chronicler Nestor. With interest, students watched the presentation performing logical language tasks. We have met with a great enthusiasm in children watching “museum literacy”: real ink, pen, carbon paper, bark, papyrus, different types of pencils. Active work was awarded by goodies.

More than the sword, fire, and female’s braid…

Більш ніж меч, і огонь, і жіноча коса,
Небезпечне оружжя – жіноча краса.
Ані мудрість, наука, ні старші літа
не дають проти неї міцного щита.
