Tips for Teaching Letter M Words<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Be a Model<\/strong>

    Have your child watch your face as you make the M sound, or use a mirror so they can see their own lips. You can also pinch your thumb and index fingers together next to your mouth to show your child how to fully close their lips.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. Use Visuals<\/strong>

      When working on new letters and letter sounds, make an effort to have an image of the letter nearby, helping children associate the new letter sound with the letter they see. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Use Multiple Teaching Approaches<\/strong><\/strong>

        Introducing a new letter sound in a variety of ways can help children better understand and get familiar with it. Combine our list of letter M words with the letter M song, worksheets, and activities to approach this new letter sound in many different ways.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
