Description
This material is part of the Elementary Montessori language arts curriculum. ‘Sentence Analysis’ focuses on the relationship words have to each other when placed in a sentence. Separate words have meaning and have particular functions (or particular parts of speech.) When placed in a sentence, the separate words are immediately in relationships to each other. These relationships influence the meaning of the words. Sentence Analysis examines patterns or techniques to help in understanding the relationships words have to each other in a sentence, which ultimately gives precise meaning to language. This exercise consists of various cases where children practice analysing increasingly challenging sentences.
