 We have a new letter this week and it is the letter X. Can you make an X with your arm? One diagonal arm and then take your other arm diagonal line. What letter is that? X. And what's X sound? Now wait a moment though. X decided to break all the rules. Does he say X in X-ray? Listen carefully. X is his sound. Do you hear X in X-ray? X-ray. It actually says the letter. So I hear X in X-ray. Do you hear X in xylophone? I hear Z. But remember I told you the other day. Let's review this. That X makes its X sound at the end of words. When I write a letter down, show me the magic that you know the sound. Ready? What sound? Excellent. What sound? What sound? Now I know you know it. You but don't get the surprise yet. Hide it in your brain. Cover it. Watch. Wait for my dots. Wait for my dots. Sound. Box. Where's the X at the beginning, middle or end? And the X is at the end. Now what about this one? Sound. Buh. Sound. Ah. Sound. X. Oh my gosh. Your readers, your readers. But wait. Do it together. Ready? Buh. Ah. X. Box. Where's the X? At the end. I have one more word to share with you that this time it changes the middle sound. So we had F and B as our beginning sounds. Our initial sound. O was our middle. X was at the end. And X got to say his sound. Now here's another one. And when my friends go to kindergarten, they will turn this age. What sound? X. Oh, it's the letter S. But what's the sound? X. Chris Cross. Ready? What sound? I. What sound? Now do the sounds. X. Six. How old will you be in kindergarten? Six. The X is at the end. The X says his sound.
