The lowercase m starts at the midline. Pull a short vertical stroke down to the baseline, then without lifting, go back up to the midline, arch over, come down to the baseline, go up again to the midline, arch a second time, and pull a final stroke down to the baseline — creating two humps of equal height. Uppercase M starts at the top line with a vertical stroke down to the baseline, lifts, returns to the top and slants down to the center, then slants back up to the top line, and finishes with a fourth vertical stroke down to the baseline.
The double-hump shape of m makes consistent arc height a key focus — practicing words like 'moon' and 'monkey' in tracing rows helps children feel the rhythm of the two equal arches before writing independently. Use the three-line guide to keep the humps neatly capped at the midline.

Frequently asked questions
- How can I help my child remember m has two humps and n has one?
- A simple mnemonic is that m has more bumps than n, just as the word 'more' is longer than 'n.' Some teachers also trace the letter shape in the air while saying 'down, up, over, down, up, over, down' for m versus the shorter chant for n.
- What is the correct starting point for lowercase m?
- Lowercase m begins at the midline, not the top line. It has no ascender, so the stroke should never rise above the midline. This is a common error among beginners who write m as tall as letters like h or b.
