Cursive Letter m Tracing Worksheet
Cursive m has three humps, not two like print m. The extra hump comes from the lead-in stroke.
What’s on the cursive m worksheet
Cursive M and m to copy, dotted m rows to trace and join, the words moon, mop and mouse, and a line for your child’s own m.
How to write cursive m
Start with an overcurve up to the dashed line. Come down, then make two more overcurve humps and finish with an undercurve to the right.
What to watch for
Watch the number of humps: cursive m has three, counting the lead-in.
Joining m to other letters
The third hump comes down and curls away, giving m a ready-made link to the next letter. In mop the curl lifts into the o. Practise ma, me and mo, then write map and mum. Count the humps aloud for each m.
