MOLTT Wooden Grammar Symbols: A Visual & Tactile Introduction to Language Structure

Product Overview

The MOLTT Grammar Symbols set provides a concrete, sensorial key to understanding the abstract rules of language. This essential Montessori material translates parts of speech into tangible, colored symbols, allowing children to visually analyze and comprehend the structure of sentences. By making grammar a hands-on, interactive experience, it builds a solid foundation for advanced writing, reading comprehension, and linguistic awareness.

Educational Purpose & Value

This material is designed to move grammar from memorization to meaningful discovery. Its primary aim is to help children visually identify and classify the function of words within a sentence. Each distinct symbol represents a specific part of speech (e.g., noun, verb, adjective, adverb, preposition), enabling students to deconstruct and label sentences, thereby internalizing grammatical rules intuitively and logically.

Complete Set Contents

The set is comprehensive and designed for repeated classroom or homeschool use:

90 Precision-Crafted Symbols: Includes 10 of each of the 9 core grammar symbols, ensuring ample quantities for sentence analysis work.

Standardized Color & Shape Code: Each part of speech is represented by a unique, internationally recognized Montessori symbol—such as a black triangle for nouns, a red circle for verbs, and a blue triangle for adjectives—creating a consistent visual language for learning.

Organized Storage: All symbols are neatly housed in a high-quality, compartmentalized wooden box with a fitted lid. This promotes order, independence, and care for the materials.

How It Is Used

After being introduced to a part of speech (e.g., "The noun is the name of a person, place, or thing"), the child is shown its corresponding symbol. In subsequent exercises, the child analyzes sentences—often written on strips of paper—by placing the correct wooden symbol above each word. This activity transforms sentence diagramming into a concrete, manipulative, and engaging puzzle.
