This is a working post on what I am doing for Grammar in Grade 1. I have both level 1 English language learners and very capable students functioning two grade levels above so the resource can be used for students of varying capabilities.
I am still discovering how the Montessori Method teaches Grammar – there are cards, boxes, and symbols. Here are a few books and articles that I have collected and are currently deciphering:
- Above I have embedded The Montessori Elementary Material book. This book is written by Maria Montesorri and translated by Arthur Livingston. As is outlined in the introduction, the text has been modified to accommodate the differences between Italian and English grammar yet retains the sections not pertaining to English.
Based on these reading I am making some resources for teaching grammar using this approach. I have saved them all to Dropbox so you can just download them. Here is a working list that will be added to a modified. All the files listed bellow are prefixed with “Montessori Grammar”.
- Grammar Symbols poster
- Symbols stencil
- Word Study Cards
- prefixes and suffixes
- compound words
- word families
- singular and plural.
- Parts of Speech Cards
- Noun
- Article
- Adjective
- Verb
- Adverb
- Preposition
- Conjunction
I have proof read it once or twice but there may be mistakes – if you find anything, please send me a message, I’d really appreciate it.
