Cursive Letter X Worksheets
These cursive letter X worksheets will help kids learn to write the uppercase X, lowercase x, and short words with an X. This page is full of traceable worksheets for kids to practice writing the cursive letter x.
The letter X is different from most other cursive letters in that it uses crossing strokes rather than loops or humps to form the letter.
Looking at the lowercase x, notice that it has to be small and clear on the writing line.
If the crossing point is off or too heavy, it can throw off the formation of the letter within a word.

Choose a letter to practice cursive handwriting from A to Z.
Using this printable worksheet, kids will get a lot of practice on the formation of the cursive X.
The letters have to be formed with equal weight on both strokes and a good center crossing.
The larger size is great for this exercise because if the crossing point is off, it will be much more obvious.
The lowercase x has to stay small too but it still needs to keep that nice diagonal crossing stroke.

The letter x feels different from the other cursive letters because it uses crossing points rather than loops and flourishes.
The letter x is unique from the other cursive letters in that it has a simple appearance, but it needs to be formed a little more precisely to keep it looking nice and balanced.
The letter x does not appear as often as some of the other letters either, so it can feel a little strange to kids practicing this particular letter.
The letter X within cursive writing needs to appear light enough so that those crossing points do not overpower the word where it is placed.
