Week 2, lesson 4 Letter formation - "m" - Phonics Phase 2 - Worksheet

In the second week of a phonics programme, specifically on the fourth day, children focus on the letter formation of the lowercase 'm'. The lesson forms part of Phonics Phase 2 and is accompanied by a worksheet designed to help reinforce the recognition and writing of the letter 'm'. The worksheet provides a simple yet effective exercise where students are presented with a list of words and are instructed to identify and circle those that begin with the /m/ sound.

The worksheet lists words such as 'dip', 'mat', 'map', and 'pin', and students must distinguish between these to find the ones where the initial sound corresponds to the letter 'm'. This task not only aids in consolidating their understanding of the letter 'm' and its associated sound but also enhances their ability to recognize letter sounds at the beginning of words. To further practice letter formation, the worksheet includes lines with multiple 'm' letters, encouraging children to write and repeat the shape of 'm', thereby improving their handwriting skills.
