Your child hears the X sound — ks! — again and again, sees the capital letter X, and watches Tardy show off the shape of the letter X. Then meets nine X words right on the beat: box, fox, six, ox, taxi, saxophone, T-rex, wax crayon and x-ray.
What your child learns
- The letter X and its sound – ks
- X words: box, fox, six, ox, taxi, saxophone, T-rex, wax crayon, x-ray
