This arrangement provides the teacher with an immediate evaluation of the student's work in relation to grade level. AE-L stands for Advanced Elementary Language(ages 10 to 13).

Four exercises are dedicated to the grammatical study of similes and analogous relations. Students learn to identify similes and analogies by matching phrase cards with corresponding word labels printed on card stock.

Eight exercises of manipulative word labels to match with definitions. Suitable for spelling memorization associated with dictation of words. The exercises are coordinated with the AE-L Lab of the Albanesi Curriculum Program at Level 57.

These language exercises were designed to involve students with sight reading and to provide pleasant dictation games for spelling practice. This series consists of 14 exercises graduated in difficulty, each consisting of four theme picture cards and four matching poetic jingles (3” x 3”). After reading and matching the poetic paragraphs to the pictures of an exercise and becoming familiar with the words, the teacher (or another student) may dictate the paragraphs and a four-page booklet can be created. The pictures are simple line drawings that are light-box compatible so they can easily be traced. Each exercise is coded to correspond to the A.C.P. Junior Elementary Language Curriculum Lab. (JE-L)

Two matching exercises with observation cards are designed to strengethen the understanding of the use of the apostrophe. With these manipulative exercises, the student is guided to focus his/her attention to how the apostrophe should be used when forming the possessive with singular nouns, with plural nouns that do not end with an "S", and with plural nouns that end with an "S".

The study of the tense of a verb is introduced in the Junior Elementary. The main tenses of a verb are given with the VERB TENSE BOARD. The exercise consists of showing the child that actions (verbs) can take place at three main times: PAST, PRESENT and FUTURE. There are 12 movable cards for the tenses, 12 printed sentences to be analyzed, and 4 arrow markers designed to be used on the board. With this material, the student is also introduced to the identification of personal pronouns by using the large chart of SIMPLE VERB CONJUGATION. Dr. Montessori designed these manipulative activities, so that the elementary students could easily see the close connection between the use of personal pronouns and the conjugation of verbs. All exercises are printed on durable, flexible LAMINATED cardstock or vinyl material. This work is coordinated with the Albanesi Curriculum Program (ACP)

Exercises Illustrating the Grammatical Rules for the Include: Most singular nouns form the plural by adding an s. Some nouns have irregular plurals. Singular nouns that end with ch, s, sh, x, and z, form the plural by adding es. Singular nouns that end with y preceded by a consonant form the plural by changing the y to i and adding es. Singular nouns that end with y preceded by a vowel form the plural form the plural by adding an s. Some singular nouns that end with f form the plural by changing the f to v and adding es; however, singular nouns that end in fe form the plural by changing the f to v and adding an s at the of the word. Some singular nouns that end with f form the plural by adding s. A small number of singular nouns that end with o form the plural by adding es. Some singular nouns that end with o have two plural spellings. The plural can be formed by adding s or es; however, it is important that the spelling chosen be used consistently in the same work. Some singular nouns that end with o, especially those that relate to music, form the plural by adding s. A few singular nouns remain the same in the plural. A few nouns only use the plural form. Some singular hyphenated words form the plural by adding an s to the most important word. If both parts of the word have equal value, the last word takes the s. A few nouns that have come into English from Latin and Greek have kept their foreign plural form. Some plurals of words have come from foreign languages such as Latin or Greek. These plurals have two correct spellings: the foreign spelling and the English spelling. However, it is important that the spelling chosen be used consistently in the same work.

The activity of naming objects introduces the child to the Study of the Noun. With 54 labels and 2 title cards the child can name the objects of the miniature farm environment. There are also labels for the game of the Movable and Immovable Objects in the classroom.

Specific exercises of logical agreement between nouns and verbs are presented with color-coded word cards. There are 58 color-coded word cards in all. The verb cards are red, the article cards are gray, and the noun cards are black. All word cards measure 2” x 1 3/8” and are designed for work on a felt mat at the child’s table or on a rug on the floor.

Specific exercises of logical agreement between nouns and adjectives are presented with color-coded word cards. There are 20 color-coded word cards in all. The adjective cards are brown and the noun cards are black. All word cards measure 2” x 1 3/8” and are designed for work on a felt mat at the child’s table or on a rug on the floor.

Specific exercises for the study of the article identify the difference in usage between definite and indefinite articles. At the preschool level, such distinction is only experienced through the auditory sense, by the correct usage of language. At the elementary level, the Montessori Guide will be prepared to teach the more advanced conceptual level and integrate it with the auditory sense. There are 16 labels for the articles and 16 labels for the nouns. For this exercise the teacher will need to prepare an object box. Common miniature objects may be collected to match the word labels so that the children can visualize and concretize the grammatical usage of the articles as applied to actual objects.

There are 239 color-coded word labels for building sentences. The color-coding is designed to provide isolation of difficulty so that the child may progress from simple to more complex sentences.

There are 118 word cards and 6 control cards that list the names of objects to be matched according to their initial phonetic sound. The exercises are graduated in difficulty, from short vowel words, to long vowel words, blends, and phonogram sounds.
