Chant: there’s a fox in the box x x x b-o-x, box x x x
We will look at the letter x at the end and middle of three letter words, because the sound x (c-s) does not occur at the beginning of any familiar three letter words.
Let’s make the letter X with ‘bread dough’.
Ingredients
one slice of white bread
glue
water
Method
1. Remove the crusts from the bread.
2. Put -
one teaspoon of glue and ¼ teaspoon of water
onto the slice of bread.
3. You may wish to add a few drops of food colouring.
4. Knead the bread until it does not stick to your fingers.
(5-10 minutes)
5. Model the letter ‘x’ onto a baking tray.
6. Bake in the oven for (about) 4 minutes at 225 degrees.
7. When cool you may wish to preserve your x by painting it with clear varnish.

Interesting Extra
1. Sound out these words and then circle the ‘x’ in each one.
Do you know the meaning of each word?
Does the ‘x’ come in the middle or at the end of the word?
fox box ox axe fax lax Max tax wax Rex vex
six fix mix dux
2. Why do the words Rex and Max have capital letters?
3. Look at recipes. Each one has a list of the ingredients and the method for preparing.
Look at a pancake recipe and get your tutor to help you make pancakes for your family’s morning tea one day.
Note for tutor: reading and cooking recipes is a good activity to do with your child/ren. (The mess only lasts for a few years!)
