Companion summary

Can you make a humming sound right now, like a bee going mmm? That sound starts words you use every day, like mum, milk, and moon. Your lips press together and hum to make it — try it in a mirror and watch your mouth. When you finish, try finding three things in your room whose names start with that buzzy sound.

Wake Up Your Mouth!

Wake Up Your Mouth!

Put your lips together. Hum softly. That is the 'm' sound! Say it: mmm. Say it again: mmm.
