Yes, because diagramming helps the student see the interrelationships between the words. Two adverbs or two prepositional phrases can play very different roles in a sentence but MCT's 4-level analysis treats them as the same.

For others, diagramming is not going to add to what they've already learned through other means. The end goals of all kinds of grammar programs, including diagramming, are, I think, to be able to use language correctly and thoughtfully; and to understand something about how one's language works.

What benefits do you like from diagramming? What do you feel that your kids get from diagramming as opposed to just parsing a sentence? I don't really get it. Diagrams of sentences seemingly do nothing else.

How important is diagramming sentences anyway?

Diagramming is the answer. In addition to what others have said about helping to visualize the relationships between words, diagramming helps one to figure out how to smooth out those awkward passages. A good sentence should be diagrammable. If you come across an awkward sentence in your student's writing, have him diagram the sentence.

Diagramming was designed specifically for English, so you might have to revise some rules for other languages and maybe even the formatting. It would probably be better to see if there was a version that was created just for the language, or you might use the methods linguists use though I don't know how hard that is to learn.
Diagramming Sentences...Can you tell me the Pros and cons please...

Grammar is very cerebral and very visual. Diagramming is a way to give it more spacial, hands-on properties. Sometimes we diagram sentences in other languages to see their sentence structure. If a child diagrams a sentence correctly, you can tell that he understands its structure--just another way of testing him. Need more?
Does anyone not teach grammar, sentence diagramming, etc?

Knowing proper sentence structure, nouns, verbs, clauses, prepositions - knowing these things makes you a better writer (certainly a better self-editor at least!). For me, I teach grammar to mastery and not beyond and we didn't really get into it until 5th grade.

Many of us here have been teaching our kids how to diagram sentences (myself included). I didn't learn to diagram sentences in school, so I'm wondering how your kids use their diagramming skills (other than to do their grammar assignment)?
