Alphabet Activity: Letter X is for X-Ray

Science > What is an x-ray?
Discuss in simple terms what is an x-ray and how it is useful.
X-Ray is a beam of high energy radiation that is able to pass through many kinds of solid materials. Scientists have found many uses for x-rays.
An x-ray is also a special photograph using such an x-ray beam. The photograph can be used to treat and examine the internal organs in the body, such as identifying a broken bone or cavities in teeth.

*Finger and Pencil Tracing:
*Trace letter X's in upper and lower case with your finger as you also sound out the letter. Invite the children to do the same on their coloring page. Encourage the children to trace the dotted letter with your choice of sharpened crayon, fine tip marker, coloring or regular pencil and explain the direction of the arrows and numbers (on the upper right corner) that help them trace the letter correctly. During the demonstration, you may want to count out loud as you trace so children become aware of how the number order aids them in the writing process.
*Find the letter X's: Have the children find all the letter X's in upper and lower case on the page and encourage them to circle or trace/shade them first. Visit each child to make sure they have identified the letter X's and then discuss the locations with the poster.
*Coloring and/or Craft Activity:
Encourage the children to color the x-ray image with a variety of materials.
Letter X words: Letter
X Activity Page and Mini Book This page and matching mini
book can be used as part of Letter X program of activities
to reinforce letter practice and to identify related X words as a
beginning sound and ending sound. Read suggested instructions for using the worksheet
and mini-book.
Discuss other letter X words and images (refer to letter activity
worksheet above): First 'brainstorm' and
ask the children about other words that have that beginning sound and
write them on a board (dry erase board) as the children come up with
example. You can print letter X in a different bright color to
make it stand out. If you have illustrated alphabet books you
can also use images in them. You can also display letter X posters and
coloring pages or even make a letter X classroom book. For
