Grammar Symbols Lexicon in a child's hands
The Lexicon of the Grammar Symbols is an essential Montessori language material that provides a comprehensive reference for all grammar symbol shapes and their meanings. This German-language edition features the complete set of Montessori grammar symbols, from nouns to interjections, with clear definitions and example sentences, supporting children's progression from concrete symbol manipulation to abstract grammatical understanding.
Grammar Comprehension
Connecting abstract grammar concepts to concrete visual symbols makes sentence structure tangible and memorable for elementary-age children.
Independent Research
The lexicon format encourages children to look up information independently, building research skills and self-directed learning habits.
Language Analysis
Understanding parts of speech deepens reading comprehension and supports more sophisticated writing as children learn to construct varied sentences.
Visual-Symbolic Thinking
The Montessori grammar symbols create a visual language for understanding sentence structure, developing abstract thinking skills that transfer to other domains.
How to present it
Place the lexicon on the language shelf alongside the grammar symbol box. The child should already be familiar with at least noun, verb, and adjective symbols.
- 1Introduce the lexicon by showing the child how symbols are organized, each part of speech has its own section.
- 2Choose a sentence from a reading exercise and invite the child to identify each word's part of speech.
- 3When the child encounters an unfamiliar symbol, guide them to look it up in the lexicon independently.
- 4Encourage the child to read the example sentences and notice how each part of speech functions.
3 tips for parents
- If your child is in a Montessori school, ask which grammar symbols they've learned, this lexicon reinforces classroom work.
- Even without Montessori background, the visual symbol system makes grammar accessible and engaging.
- Note: This is the German-language edition. Check our catalog for other language versions if needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
What age is this material suitable for?
Designed for ages 6-9 (lower elementary). Children should already have been introduced to basic grammar symbols before using the lexicon independently.
Is this only in German?
Yes, this specific edition is in German. The grammar symbols are universal Montessori symbols, but all definitions and examples are in German, making it ideal for German-speaking or bilingual classrooms.
Why is Nienhuis considered the gold standard?
Nienhuis Montessori has manufactured AMI-approved materials since 1929, working directly with the Association Montessori Internationale to ensure every product meets Dr. Montessori's original specifications.
What are Montessori grammar symbols?
They're a visual system where each part of speech has a unique shape and color, large red circle for verbs, black triangle for nouns, blue triangle for adjectives, etc. This makes abstract grammar concepts concrete and memorable.
Do I need other materials to use this?
The lexicon works best alongside the Grammar Symbol Box (physical wooden symbols) and sentence analysis strips, but it can be used independently as a reference tool.
