Letter X Worksheets & Printables
Worksheets and printables for teaching the letter X. Practice letter recognition, letter formation, handwriting, and beginning sound X.
The letter “x” is often learned more quickly than other letters. Provide children with visual references such as alphabet posters on the wall and their own alphabet chart to keep at their table or desk. Engage them in sorting activities where they locate all the “x’s” using magnetic letters, letter tiles, or flashcards. They can also go on a letter hunt in the room to find as many “x’s” as they can. Provide additional learning opportunities by having them create the letter “x” with playdough, by experimenting with letter stamps, and by playing alphabet games.
When children learn how to print letters properly, they can increase their speed and accuracy. As well, as they begin writing longer passages, their focus can be on the content of their writing and not the mechanics of forming each letter.
Provide children with tools such as fingerpaints, whiteboard markers, chalk, and sand or salt trays to practice printing the letter “x.” They can also use juggling scarves to practice the motions needed to form an “x.”
Other visual children can reference when learning their letters and sounds is an individual alphabet book. Each page contains one letter, displaying the uppercase and lowercase formation. Children can then add pictures to the page that begin with the letter’s sound.
To provide further practice learning the sound the letter “x” makes, have children engage in matching activities. For example, have them match the letter “x” to pictures of objects that begin with “x.” You can also use coloring activities, where children color only the pictures that begin with the letter “x.” (e.g., Color the xylophone. Do not color the cake.)
