About this resource

These cut and paste worksheets for the letter M are great for letter recognition and beginning sounds. They are a quick and easy activity to give students who need practice with recognizing the letter M from amongst other letters or for those students who need extra practice distinguishing between the initial sounds in words. It is a great resource for students to practice recognizing the letter, or to evaluate students on their knowledge of the letter and its sound at the beginning of words.

These cut and paste worksheets are perfect for preschoolers and kindergartners who are working on identifying the most common initial /m/ sound in words as well as students who are learning to recognize the letter M in both capital and lowercase form.

There are 3 different worksheets for students to use to practice the letter M

  • * Sorting letters that are the letter M from letters that are not the letter M

    • * Cut and paste page where students will glue the pictures that begin with the letter M on the map.

    • * Sorting page where students will look through various forms of print and cut out examples of the letter and sort by capital letters and lowercase letters.

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Identify pictures whose names begin with the letter M and distinguish them from pictures that do not.

  • Sort capital M and lowercase m correctly by shape.

  • Distinguish the letter M from visually similar letters (such as l, x, O) in a mixed sorting task.

Teaching tips

  • Introduce the beginning-sound picture worksheet first, since it pairs letter recognition with vocabulary the student already knows the sound of.

  • Use the 'I am letter M / I am not letter M' sort as a check for letter-discrimination confusion, since it specifically mixes M with similar-looking letters like l and O rather than only clearly different ones.

Skills covered

  • Beginning-sound picture matching — students glue pictures beginning with M onto a map, connecting the letter to its sound.

  • Capital/lowercase letter sorting — a dedicated worksheet has students sort M and m by case.

  • Letter discrimination — the 'I am / I am not letter M' sort requires distinguishing M from visually similar letters.

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

Does this only cover uppercase M, or lowercase too?

Both — one worksheet is specifically a sorting task for capital M and lowercase m, separate from the picture-matching and letter-discrimination worksheets.
