The Montessori grammar curriculum is truly amazing … a perfect hands-on way for children to understand grammar. Today, I’m sharing a number of traditional Montessori grammar activities and resources as well as some Montessori-inspired grammar activities.
There are grammar activities for both 3-6 year olds and elementary-level students. Since Montessori education is individualized, I’m including both levels in this post so you can choose the activities that are best for your child or students.

I just found your comment. Thanks for the free file! I added it to the list. 🙂 Deb
Hi! I’m applying for a position as English teacher at a secondary Montessori school so I’m looking for ideas on how Montessori teaching is different from “normal” teaching. I think it’s not very different from normal ESL/TEFL teaching, but your overview with grammar links is incredibly useful, thanks a lot! I realized that one of the prepositions activities I made for my students is actually very much Montessori: I have boxes with a range of animals in them and instruction on how to place them (e.g., put the giraffe behind the lion; put the hippo next to the giraffe). After they finish they can get a picture card to check their work. So it’s very much individual/group based, everyone can work in their own pace and it’s very much hands-on.
Hello, I just found you through Pinterest. I am sort of begging for thoughts, direction on homeschooling the Montesorri way. My oldest daughter is 11 and should be working as a 5th grader. She has some learning blocks that has made reading and math nearly impossible. She is very much a hands on learner. She is in vision therapy weekely. I pulled her from school last October and have been struggling to find a way for her to learn on her level and her way. Long and short, I am lost and not sure what to do. Any help would greatly be appreciated. Thanks in advance, Dionalyn
I’m so sorry, Dionalyn, but I just found your comment. I hope you’ve been finding resources that work well for you. Montessori elementary can be tricky to do at home unless you have a program to follow. Lisa Nolan has a very inexpensive one you can read about here: https://livingmontessorinow.com/products/programs/. This is another program that elementary homeschoolers have used: http://keysoftheuniverse.com/. I hope that helps. Deb
Hi! A teacher at my school sent out this resource a month ago for us to try and I loved it! I think it would work great here as it is a Montessori grammar activity!

Love all these great grammar ideas, Deb. Thanks! I am going to start planning some DIY materials…
Thanks, Deb! We are in grammar thick right now, and I look forward to looking through to see if there are any good ideas to add to our fun! 🙂
