Function of Words Grammar Set

Working with the Montessori Function of Words (grammar) activities is an important step for children to take to become fluent in the written and spoken word.

This invaluable set includes 232 laminated word, phrase, or photo cards with instructions for 18 sequential Function of Words games featuring the article (includes photo cards), adjective, verb, adverb, conjunction, preposition, and commands.

For initial presentations, the part of speech being introduced is printed in text color-coded to the grammar symbol (e.g. red for verbs, orange for adverb, pink for conjunction, etc.). Ready-to-cut-out cardstock grammar symbols are scaled to these cards
