ABC Story Time: The Letter "X"

Hi Friends!

Will you sing an alphabet song with me?

It's time for the Letter of the Day:

(tune is the Farmer and the Dell)

The letter of the day,

The letter of the day,

Hip, hip, hip-hooray,

Today is letter "X"!

Can you draw a big letter X in the air?

Stand up, point your magic finger out in front of you. Now draw slant right, slant left. *The complete Zaner-Bloser Handwriting Manual can be found here. *Letter X practice using the American Sign Language Alphabet can be found here.

X says "Xsss"

And X says "xsss"

Every letter makes a sound

X says "xsss"

Can you think of words that start with the letter X?

If X marks the spot...let's look up, down & all-around to see what we can find:

• X shape in a tree

• Axe

• Xylophone

• Something Relaxing

• X on a license plate

• A clock with Roman Numeral "X"

• hexagon

• boxes

• the number six

• a candle made of wax

• foxes
