Letter M Hunt: Go on a letter M hunt around your home or classroom! Look for objects that start with the letter M, like a mug or a magazine. Can you find at least three things? Once you find them, say the word out loud and emphasize the /m/ sound at the beginning. Share your findings with a friend or family member!
Make an M Collage: Gather some old magazines or newspapers and cut out pictures of things that start with the letter M. Glue them onto a piece of paper to create your very own M collage. As you work, practice saying the /m/ sound and the names of the objects you find. Display your collage for everyone to see!
Sound Detective: Become a sound detective and listen for the /m/ sound in words around you. Ask an adult to read a short story or a few sentences to you. Every time you hear a word that starts or ends with the letter M, raise your hand or make a fun sound, like a bell or a clap. How many M words can you find?
