How to use the letter M page
The capital M has two tall peaks, while the small m is short and round, with two humps side by side. Color both, then trace the peaks of the capital and the humps of the small m with a finger. Many children say the small m looks like a camel's back.
For the capital, draw the left post down, slant down to the middle, slant back up, then draw the right post down. For the small m, go down a short line, back up, over one hump and over a second hump. The sound is a hum with closed lips, the one we make for yummy food: milk, mom, mitten. Play a humming game: every time you spot an M on a cereal box or a sign, hum mmm.
Questions
What is the difference between small m and small n?
The small m has two humps and the small n has one. Counting the humps out loud while tracing is an easy way to remember which is which.
Can I make a coloring page from my child's photo?
Yes. Coolorio can turn your own photo into a coloring page, and the first one is free. It is a nice addition to the letter pages, for example a picture of your child next to their first letter.
What age suits the letter M?
Most children enjoy it from about three to six. The four strokes of the capital M take some practice, so younger children can focus on coloring and older ones on the tracing row.
