This study investigates grammatical reasoning in primary school learners through a sequence-based learning analytics approach, leveraging fine-grained action sequences from an interactive game targeting morphosyntactic agreement in French. Unlike traditional assessments that rely on final answers, we treat each slider movement as a hypothesis-testing action, capturing real-time cognitive strategies during sentence construction. Analyzing 597 gameplay sessions (9,783 actions) from 100 students aged 8–11 in authentic classroom settings, we introduce Hamming distance to quantify proximity to valid grammatical solutions and examine convergence patterns across exercises with varying levels of difficulty. Results reveal that determiners and verbs are key sites of difficulty, with action sequences deviating from left-to-right usual treatment. This suggests learners often fix the verb first and adjust preceding elements. Exercises with fewer solutions exhibit slower and more erratic convergence, while changes in the closest valid solution indicate dynamic hypothesis revision. Our findings demonstrate how sequence-based analytics can uncover hidden dimensions of linguistic reasoning, offering a foundation for real-time scaffolding and teacher-facing tools in linguistically diverse classrooms.
