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?
