Letter X tracing worksheet

The capital X is two crossing lines. X is two diagonals crossing at the middle. Rare at the start of words.

Each row alternates X and x so a child practises both forms of the same letter in one sitting — which is how it is taught, because the two shapes are learned as one letter rather than two. Say the letter SOUND as they trace rather than its name: that is what turns tracing into reading.

Words to say together while tracing: box, fox, x-ray. Hearing the sound at the start of real words is what connects the shape on the page to the letter it represents.
