Basic Wooden Grammar Symbols

In the 3 to 6 environment, the Montessori language curriculum introduces children to the parts of speech, the first step to learning grammar.  Each function of speech is represented as a colourful, wooden symbol; a concrete representation that can be handled and touched.  They continue to use these symbols in the lower elementary class; until they are ready to move onto the abstract concepts.

Description

The Child is introduced to grammar by learning the function of words.  Maria Montessori recognised the need to allow a Child to touch a concrete version of these parts of speech;  so that they could absorb the meaning of a ‘verb’ or ‘noun’ not only orally, but through their other senses as well.  This product, the basic wooden grammar symbols, is the concrete memory that the Child seeks; teaching them in a dynamic and physical way.

One of the attractions to the Montessori Method is the extensive use of wood.

We use several types of wood, sourced from renewable sources, in the production of our Montessori Materials.

  • Solid beechwood for cylinder blocks, pink towers, dressing frames and brown stairs.
  • Birchply for trays, holders and animal and botany puzzles.
  • MDF for puzzle maps
  • Pineply for boxes and containers

 

We ensure that the coatings and inks used are not only eco-friendly, but also non-toxic.

Our wooden products are manufactured by responsible partner factories both locally and abroad and ensure that fair labour practices are adopted.
