How to use it

  1. Lowercase m: Overcurve up to the midline and make three humps down to the baseline.
  2. Uppercase M: Start at the baseline, overcurve up and make three humps, larger than the lowercase.
  3. Trace the gray letters slowly, then write on your own in the blank row.

Good to know

  • m and n start with an overcurve (a hump), not an undercurve.
  • Lowercase m belongs to the overcurve letters (n, m, v, x, y, z); teaching letters in these groups makes them easier to learn.
  • Practice words on the sheet: moon, milk, map. Say each word aloud while writing it, then check that every letter sits on the baseline.
  • Keep the paper slanted slightly and let the letters lean to the right.
  • Short, daily practice (5–10 minutes) works better than one long session; trace first, then write from memory in the blank row.
