The Grammar Charts Level 9-12 is a Language Montessori material designed for children aged 3-6, crafted by Nienhuis Montessori to AMI standards.
The Grammar Charts Level 9-12 provide comprehensive visual references for advanced grammar concepts in the Montessori language curriculum. These charts support children in understanding complex sentence structures, parts of speech relationships, and advanced grammatical functions through clear, systematic presentations. Designed to complement the grammar symbols and sentence analysis work, these charts serve as essential reference materials for independent language exploration.
“The greatest sign of success for a teacher is to be able to say, 'The children are now working as if I did not exist.'”— Maria MontessoriThe Absorbent Mind
“Free the child's potential, and you will transform him into the world.”
— Maria Montessori, To Educate the Human Potential
Grammar Charts Level 9-12 exist in the Montessori classroom to satisfy children's emerging need for understanding the invisible structures governing language. These visual reference materials address the developmental leap from concrete to abstract thinking that occurs between ages four and six. Each chart transforms complex grammatical relationships into clear, systematic presentations that children can independently consult during their language work. The charts' comprehensive coverage of advanced concepts - from compound sentence structures to transitive verb relationships - responds to children's natural curiosity about how language functions. By providing permanent visual access to these abstract concepts, Grammar Charts Level 9-12 enable children to verify their understanding without adult intervention. The systematic organization of each chart mirrors the logical thinking patterns emerging in this age group, allowing children to discover grammatical patterns through repeated reference during sentence analysis work.
Each order includes everything needed for proper presentation and long-term use.
Follow the Montessori method of presentation for optimal child development.
Introduce one chart at a time during small group lessons, connecting to current grammar work
Demonstrate how to reference the chart while analyzing a sentence with grammar symbols
Guide children to find specific information on the chart during their independent work

Everything you need to know about this material.
These advanced charts cover complex sentence structures, subordinate clauses, compound-complex sentences, advanced verb tenses, passive voice, subjunctive mood, gerunds and participles, and detailed parts of speech relationships. They build upon earlier grammar work and prepare children for sophisticated language analysis.
The charts are designed to work seamlessly with Montessori grammar symbols, using the same color coding and visual representations. Children can reference the charts while doing sentence analysis work, helping them identify and understand the function of each word using the familiar symbol system.
While labeled for ages 3-6, these Level 9-12 charts are typically introduced to children who have mastered basic grammar concepts, often in the later Casa years or early Elementary. They serve as reference materials that children can grow into as their language skills develop.
The Grammar Charts are printed on durable, high-quality cardstock or laminated material designed to withstand frequent handling. They feature clear, easy-to-read text and diagrams that maintain their clarity even with regular classroom use.
The set typically includes 8-12 individual charts, each focusing on specific advanced grammar concepts. Each chart is designed as a standalone reference while also working as part of the complete grammar curriculum sequence.
