You Can Bank on Fun Phonics Activities with Teach Starter!

M is for Money…and we all know how much kids love money. Now even your youngest students can learn the “value” of reading with our Letter M Interactive Activity. With this resource, you can “bank” on increasing engagement, letter recognition, and phonics skills.

This is the perfect resource to enhance your reading instruction in the classroom or digital learning environment. This activity has students identifying letters, sorting upper and lowercase letters, and checking words using the letter M and its corresponding sound. With a high-dollar interface, students can drag and drop, sort, and click their way through Big Money Bank and learn about the Letter M.

To play, students will open the Google Slides activity in “edit” mode, not presentation mode. Each slide has students interacting with moveable and clickable pieces to identify, spell, write, and use different words containing the initial /m/ sound.

• This resource incorporates letter identification, sorting, initial sounds, and more!

Tips for Differentiation + Scaffolding 

A team of dedicated, experienced educators created this resource to support your reading lessons. 

In addition to individual student work time, use this activity to enhance learning through guided writing groups, whole class lessons, or remote learning assignments. 

Suppose you have a mixture of above and below-level learners and ELL/ESL students. In that case, we have a few suggestions for keeping students on track with these concepts: 

🆘 Support Struggling Students

Complete the activities as a whole group, encouraging students to interact with the lesson and talk about their learning.

Have students work in pairs or small groups to complete the activity.

➕ Challenge Fast Finishers

Have students extend their knowledge by identifying other  M words and creating a classroom anchor chart or poster to hang on the wall.

Have students write sentences or make a word search using M words.

🧑‍🏫 Group Learning

Project the slides onto a screen and work through them as a class by having students record their answers in their notebooks or mini whiteboards.
