METHODS FOR PREVENTING GRAMMATICAL AND PUNCTUATION ERRORS IN PRIMARY EDUCATION

Abstract

This study examines effective methods for preventing grammatical and punctuation errors in primary education. The research is based on pedagogical, linguistic, and psychological approaches to language learning and focuses on the development of grammatical accuracy and punctuation awareness in young learners. The paper analyzes evidence-based strategies such as contextualized grammar instruction, scaffolded learning, formative assessment, metalinguistic awareness, reading-based learning, and the integration of educational technologies. Special attention is given to the role of teachers’ professional competence and supportive learning environments in reducing persistent language errors. The findings suggest that preventing grammatical and punctuation errors requires a systematic and learner-centered approach that integrates grammar and punctuation into meaningful communication. The study contributes to improving literacy instruction and enhancing the quality of written language in primary education.
