Lowercase Letter m Tracing Worksheet
Lowercase m is a short stick with two humps, like two little hills side by side. It needs good rhythm to keep the humps even.
What’s on the lowercase m worksheet
Big dotted m letters, two tracing rows, the words moon, mouse, milk and mushroom, and a row to circle m among n, w, h.
How to write lowercase m
Start at the dashed line and pull a short stick down. Go back up, make a hump and come down. Go back up the second line, make another hump and come down again.
Where m sits on the lines
The whole letter sits in the middle space.
What to watch for
Children often add a third hump or make the humps different sizes. Saying “down, hump, hump” keeps the count right.
Words to trace
🌙 moon · 🐭 mouse · 🥛 milk · 🍄 mushroom
Activity: Mountain m
Draw two mountains next to each other with a stick in front. Your child walks a toy car up and down the mountains, then traces the m with a crayon.
Try this at home
Clap twice for the two humps of m while your child traces it. Rhythm helps them stop at two humps rather than three, which is a very common slip.
