Let's Practice /m/

The phonetic sound /m/ is a voiced nasal bilabial.

voiced = vocal cords vibrate while making this sound

nasal bilabial = both lips touch (mouth is completely closed) so sound is released through your nose

 

Listen and repeat words with /m/

word initial /m/ sounds like: my, mother, more, make, many, mad

middle /m/ sounds like: family, animals, summer, sometimes, remember, tomorrow

final /m/ sounds like: home, from, time, him, come, same, lamb

/m/ in consonant clusters: almost, example, important, small, farm, number

 

Spelling Tips:

m: money, time, maybe

mm: summer, swimming, mommy
