Week 1, lesson 5 Letter formation - "x" - Phonics Phase 3 - Worksheet

In the fifth lesson of Week 1 for Phonics Phase 3, young learners are introduced to the letter formation of the letter "x". This lesson is an essential part of early literacy skills, where students get to practice writing the letter "x" multiple times. The worksheet provided is a straightforward and interactive tool that encourages children to reinforce their understanding of the letter "x" through writing practice. The worksheet displays the letter "x" in both upper and lower case, allowing children to familiarise themselves with the different forms of the letter.

Beyond letter formation, the worksheet incorporates a fun matching activity to enhance the students' phonemic awareness. Children are presented with a list of words, such as 'box' and 'six', which they must then connect to their corresponding images. This activity not only reinforces the sound that the letter "x" makes within words but also aids in vocabulary development and comprehension. The combination of writing and matching exercises ensures that the students engage with the letter "x" in a multi-sensory manner, promoting better retention and understanding of the phonics lesson.
