GRAMMAR MECHANICS FOUNDATION HAS BEEN STEADFAST IN PURSUING ITS MISSION TO COMBINE EDUCATION, VISUAL ARTS, AND ENTERTAINMENT TO TEACH THE COMPLEX SUBJECTS OF ENGLISH GRAMMAR AND PUNCTUATION. OUR GOAL IN 2023 WAS TO CONTINUE EMPLOYING OUR TECHNICAL ENGINEER TO ALLOW HIM TO DEVOTE TIME AND EXPERTISE TO OUR VOICEOVER UPLOADS AND SYNCHRONIZATION. HE ALSO MAINTAINS OUR THREE WEBSITES AS WELL AS MONITORING THE HIGHLY TECHNICAL UPDATES THAT ARE NEEDED TO SUPPORT OUR SITES. IN 2023 WE HIRED SEVERAL STUDENTS TO RECORD THE VOICEOVER SEGMENTS. WE WERE ALSO ABLE TO HIRE A STUDENT TO UPLOAD THE DYNAMIC QUIZZES TO OUR QUIZ SITE WWW.EASYENGLISHGRAMMAR.ORG. THE YEAR WAS DEVOTED TO THE COMPLETION OF THE VOICEOVERS FOR ALL ANIMATED SEGMENTS AND TO ADD NEW VOICEOVERS WHERE NEEDED TO COMPLETE THE ANIMATED GRAMMAR AND FINISH THE PUNCTUATION SITE WWW.ENGLISHPUNCTUATIONHELP.COM. ONCE THE VOICEOVERS WERE COMPLETED, THEY WERE UPLOADED AND SYNCED TO OUR PUNCTUATION SEGMENTS. WE ADDED LESSON PLANS TO OUR GRAMMAR AND PUNCTUATION SITES AND QUIZZES TO OUR QUIZ SITE. WHEN THE SYNC WAS COMPLETED, THE VIDEO SEGMENTS WERE UPLOADED TO OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND UPLOADED TO OUR QUIZ SITE WWW.EASYENGLISHGRAMMAR.ORG. IN ADDITION, WE HAVE BEGUN TO DISPLAY OUR SEGMENTS ON MORE SOCIAL MEDIA SITES SUCH AS INSTAGRAM AND TIKTOK, WHICH ARE THE PRIMARY SITES THAT OUR TARGET AUDIENCE, MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS, SUBSCRIBE TO NOW. MY PARTNER AND I ARE THE SOLE WRITERS AND PRODUCERS OF THE CONTENT, WE DO NOT AND HAVE NEVER TAKEN ANY COMPENSATION FOR OUR EFFORTS. ALL FUNDS RECEIVED ARE USED TO EMPLOY OUR TECHNICAL ENGINEER AND STUDENTS WHO WORK AS INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS TO DO VOICEOVERS OR QUIZ DATA ENTRY. STUDIES SHOW THAT AN INDIVIDUALS ABILITY TO THINK AT A MORE COMPLEX LEVEL IS LINKED DIRECTLY TO THE LEVEL OF LANGUAGE USE AND UNDERSTANDING. IN ADDITION, WE HAVE HAD MANY HUNDREDS OF TEACHERS, PARENTS, HOMESCHOOL TEACHERS, SPECIAL ED TEACHERS, AND STUDENTS REQUEST LESSON PLANS THAT WE RESPOND TO ON A DAILY BASIS. AS OF THE END OF DECEMBER 30, 2023, THESE WERE OUR 2023 STATISTICS. END OF YEAR SITE STATS (YEAR TO DATE):PUNCTUATION: 57,379GRAMMAR: 57,000 COURSE: 30,032TIKTOK: 7,700YOUTUBE: 1,700
