PHONICS FOR KIDS: The letter of the week is "M"

There is not any rule that demands you, which consonant will be the first by the time children begin to read ; however , I believe that words with "m , f, s , b, g and d " could be the first, due to they are related with their family members .
Therefore, these tag is going to be related with the consonant "m". Here you will find videos , games and activities that maybe you could use at home or in the classroom .

I hope you like it . :)

Well, if you are interested in videos here they are:

I love storybots, because its songs are funny and appealing for kids.

ABC mouse also has nice videos.

It is one of my favourites

There are some more on you tube. :)

I ussually implement games to reinforce concepts, so here there are some Games that you can use:

After children have watched and played with the phoneme, we can continue with other activities in the classroom or at home. For example: modeling clay, pounching,ripping and pasting paper on the letter and some other.

I always prefer those activities that involve crafting...

for example:

It is beautiful, isn't it?

You just need some foamy, cotton, pipe cleaners and a pair of wiggle eyes. First, you help your children cutting the letter and some whiskers and then, they take mouse's parts and organize the body. Finally, they will paste all the parts on the "m" and that's all.

What about monsters.....

You all together can watch " Monsters Inc." and after all elaborate a monster using different kind of material. Let me show you some....
