Are you ready to have some fun? Today, we’re going to learn about the alphabet. There are 26 letters in the alphabet, and we’re going to focus on one special letter: the letter X!
The letter X is a cool letter! It has two shapes: an uppercase X and a lowercase x. Can you pretend to write an uppercase X in the air? Great! Now, try writing a lowercase x in the air. Awesome job!
The letter X makes a special sound. It sounds like this: /x/ – /x/ /x/ /x/ /x/. Can you make the X sound with me? Let’s try it together: /x/ – /x/ /x/ /x/ /x/. Fantastic!
Let’s listen for the X sound at the end of some fun words:
A Tyrannosaurus rex, rex, rex
Had big muscles he’d flex, flex, flex
Then he’d put on his tux, tux, tux
To play the sax, sax, sax.
A little red fox, fox, fox
And a big strong ox, ox, ox
Had an umbrella to fix, fix, fix
So they could relax, relax, relax.
Learning about the alphabet is so much fun! We can learn each letter, each sound, and how to write them down. It feels great to learn how to read and write. I’m so proud of you for learning with me!
Are you ready to keep learning? There are 26 letters in the alphabet, and each one is special. Let’s keep exploring and having fun with the alphabet!
Letter X Treasure Hunt: Go on a treasure hunt around your home or classroom to find objects that have the letter X in their name. For example, you might find a box, a fox toy, or a picture of an ox. Once you find them, try to say the word and emphasize the /x/ sound at the end. Can you find at least three items?
X Marks the Spot Art: Create a piece of art using the letter X. You can use crayons, markers, or paint to draw big and small Xs on a piece of paper. Try to make patterns or pictures using the X shape. What kind of picture can you create using only the letter X?
Sound Detective: Be a sound detective and listen for the /x/ sound in words you hear throughout the day. When you hear a word with the /x/ sound, make an X with your arms. How many words can you find that have the /x/ sound by the end of the day?
