The manufacturer has withdrawn it, so we cannot order it in. The page stays here because the material itself is still worth knowing about.
Would you buy it if we could source it or make it ourselves? Enough people saying yes is what makes the attempt worth it.
Grammar Symbol - Paper in a child's hands
One hundred paper symbols for the abstract, from the extended grammar symbol series. A symbol for abstraction sounds like a contradiction and is the useful part: some albums mark words that name things which cannot be pointed at, and once a child starts marking those they notice how many sentences depend on them. Sold in hundreds, because a symbol set only works when there are enough of every kind to finish a sentence.
Abstract Thinking
Bridges concrete objects to abstract grammatical concepts through visual representation.
Language Analysis
Supports sentence structure understanding and parts of speech identification.
Visual Discrimination
Develops ability to categorize and organize language elements through color coding.
Fine Motor Control
Enhances pincer grip and hand coordination through symbol manipulation.
How to present it
Place grammar symbols in organized containers. Prepare simple sentences written on strips containing both concrete and abstract words. Have object boxes available for concrete nouns.
- 1Read a sentence aloud: 'The cat shows kindness to her kitten'
- 2Ask child to identify which words can be represented by objects
- 3Introduce the blue circle as the symbol for abstract words
- 4Continue analyzing the sentence with appropriate grammar symbols
3 tips for parents
- Point out abstract words during everyday conversations: 'Love is an abstract word'
- Play 'Can you touch it?' games to reinforce concrete versus abstract concepts
- Support classroom work by using similar blue circles cut from paper at home

Frequently Asked Questions
What grammar concept do these blue circles represent in Montessori?
In Montessori grammar work, blue circles traditionally represent adverbs. The circular shape symbolizes how adverbs can modify verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs, moving around different parts of speech.
How are these paper symbols used in grammar analysis activities?
Children place these blue circles above or near adverbs in sentences during grammar analysis. They physically manipulate the symbols while parsing sentences, making abstract grammar concepts concrete and visual through hands-on learning.
What size are these grammar symbol circles?
These grammar symbols are approximately 1-1.5 cm in diameter, sized appropriately for small hands to manipulate easily while working with sentence strips and grammar boxes in Montessori language activities.
Can these symbols be used with other Montessori grammar materials?
Yes, these symbols complement grammar boxes, sentence analysis materials, and grammar command cards. They're designed to work seamlessly with the complete Montessori grammar symbol system for comprehensive language study.
Why are 100 symbols included in this set?
The quantity of 100 ensures sufficient symbols for classroom use with multiple children, complex sentence analysis with many adverbs, and replacement for normal wear. This amount supports extensive grammar work without constant reuse.
