A Nap and a Map
Fantasy (fiction) 33 words, Decodable.
Most often the /m/ sound in the initial, medial, and final positions is made by the consonant m represented in words such as map, mother, ham, and number. The use of the consonant m is very consistent because it makes only this one sound. However, when m is doubled in a word, such as hammer, one m is silent. There are other spellings of the /m/ sound--for example, mn in hymn and mb in lamb.
