About this coloring page
X is a rare letter at the start of words. In xylophone, the word on this letter X coloring page, it sounds like Z. In x-ray it says its own name. Most of the time X shows up at the end of a word, where it makes a "ks" sound, as in box, fox, six and wax. That makes X a fun letter to hunt for at the ends of words. The page has a big Xx and tracing rows.
Capital X is two straight lines that cross in the middle. Draw one slant from the top left to the bottom right, then a second from the top right to the bottom left. Lowercase x is the same crossing, made smaller between the middle line and the writing line. A xylophone has a row of bars that you strike with mallets; the longer bars make the lower notes.
