The capital letters M, N, W and V all have the same starting point and go down and back up.
These capital letters are formed by one continuous movement and you do not need to lift your pencil.

Children may not use or know the letter names and rely on the phoneme the letter makes instead.

Use the teaching of the formation as an opportunity to revisit letter names vs. letter sounds (e.g. M vs. mmmm)

Continuous movement - the smooth movement made when writing without lifting the pencil from the paper
Diagonal line - a line that slants or leans
Vertical line - a straight line that goes up and down
