Phonics breakdown

m

Phonics Rule: Letter M

The letter M makes the /m/ sound, like in 'map', 'mud', and 'mop'. Both lips press together with voice through the nose.

M is a voiced bilabial nasal — both lips press together while the voice hums through the nose. Double M (mm) makes the same /m/ sound.

Tip

M hums like mmm — press your lips and hum!

Examples

ore

Phonics Rule: ORE says /ɔːr/

ORE at the end of a word makes the /ɔːr/ sound, like in 'more' and 'store'.

ORE says /ɔːr/ (the 'or' sound): more, store, before, score, shore, explore. The E is part of the team.

Tip

One more, please — more, store, score!
