Reading / Sentence Analysis Set
Made by Nienhuis Montessori · shipped by Heutink International (Netherlands) About the maker
Covering the full scope of this subject, this Reading and Sentence Analysis Set provides children with visual and tactile tools for understanding sentence structure and grammar relationships. The material features color-coded analysis charts with radial patterns that help children identify sentence components, paired with corresponding grammar symbols stored in organized wooden compartments for hands-on sentence building activities.
“The child is both a hope and a promise for mankind.”
The Reading and Sentence Analysis Set transforms abstract grammatical concepts into concrete experiences through its distinctive radial patterns and color-coded components. Each visual chart within this set reveals the hidden architecture of language, making sentence structure visible and tangible for young learners. The material's wooden compartments organize grammar symbols systematically, allowing children to physically construct sentences while simultaneously analyzing their parts. This hands-on approach to grammar emerges from Montessori's observation that children between three and six possess a natural sensitivity to language patterns. The radial design of the analysis charts mirrors how sentences expand from their core elements, helping children perceive the relationships between words visually before understanding them abstractly.
- Identify subjects, predicates, and objects within sentences through color-coded analysis
- Build understanding of word functions and their relationships in sentence structure
- Develop visual discrimination skills through pattern recognition in radial charts
- Strengthen reading comprehension by analyzing sentence components systematically

By manipulating the color-coded symbols and matching them to sentence components, children discover grammatical rules through their own exploration rather than memorization.
How to present it
Follow the Montessori method of presentation for optimal child development.
Arrange the radial analysis charts on a mat or table surface. Place the wooden compartments containing grammar symbols within easy reach. Select a simple sentence written on a strip of paper for the first analysis activity.
- 1
Present the first radial chart, tracing the pattern from center outward while naming each section
Use slow, deliberate movements to help the child follow the visual flow - 2
Read the sentence strip aloud, then place it above the analysis chart
Point to each word as you read, establishing left-to-right progression - 3
Select the appropriate grammar symbol from the wooden compartment for the first word
Let the child feel the weight and texture of each symbol before placing - 4
Match the symbol's color to the corresponding section on the radial chart
If unsure, guide the child to compare colors directly against the chart - 5
Continue analyzing each word, building a visual map of the sentence structure
Pause between words to allow processing time - 6
Invite the child to create their own sentence using the grammar symbols as guides
Start with simple subject-verb combinations before adding complexity
