Identify M as the first written letter in the matching labels: microwave, mouse, multicooker, mitten, mango, and monkey, with adult support reading the names.
Use the complete printed label as the reference, checking its first letter rather than guessing the spelling from the illustration.
Apply a written-letter rule across fifteen picture choices and distinguish that task from listening for a shared first sound.

This letter M picture-name worksheet presents fifteen labeled pictures. Circle the pictures whose printed names begin with M, using the label beneath each illustration as the reference. The matching names are microwave, mouse, multicooker, mitten, mango, and monkey. Read the names together before starting so vocabulary and spelling are available to a child who is still learning to read independently.
Point to the first printed letter in one matching name, then compare it with the first letter of a distractor. The search concerns where M appears in the written word. A letter elsewhere in a label does not make that picture a match, so begin at the left edge of each printed name.
An adult can name a picture and read its label without choosing the answer. Ask the child to point to the first letter and decide whether it matches the target. Work across the grid in a consistent order and circle each qualifying picture once. For a label containing more than one word, use the first letter of the complete printed phrase, keeping the page’s wording as the rule.
Visit the letter M guide for related letter information. The Phonics and Sounds Pack includes other literacy formats. As a separate follow-up, choose one familiar label, say it aloud, and discuss how its spelling relates to its sounds with adult support. Keep that conversation distinct from the printed search so the child understands which feature each task is asking them to notice.
