Do you find yourself wishing you could grasp more natural teaching moments with your child? Do you have a child who resists anything contrived or in workbook form? Do you love unit studies, but have a hard time working in the nitty gritty details of grammar? Are you a Charlotte Mason or Ruth Beechick family who wants to get more out of copywork? Are you an unschooling or eclectic-learning family that wants to introduce small snippets of grammar into normal life? We are two moms who created this website for our own use, but would love to share it with others who are in the same boat. Dig in, explore, and let us know what you think!

Lego Diagramming

Use Legos to identify the parts of speech in sentences.  Choose a color for each part (nouns, verbs, etc).  Practice placing the Legos on copywork to identify the parts of speech.   Start with nouns, and add verbs, adjectives, etc, as you learn them.

Traditional Montessori Grammar Colors:

Noun (black)
Verb (red)
Pronoun (green)
Article (light brown)
Adjective (dark brown)
Adverb (pink)
Preposition (purple)*
Conjunction (yellow)
Interjection (blue)

*We don't have any purple legos, so we substitute grey.
