Our World Tuesday, ABC Wednesday, X for X
With
thanks to Denise Nesbitt, who created ABC, and Roger, who took over
from her. For more interesting ABC posts click on the logo in the
sidebar. This week we are looking for words beginning with X.
Welcome to Our World Tuesday! This meme
continues in memory of the work of Klaus Peter, whose "that's My World"
brought people together from around the world every Monday to share the
wonders therein--big and small.Please click on our logo for "Our
World Tuesday" in the sidebar. Thank you Team of O. W. T.!
Now, x sounds like "ks" inside of a word!
So every time you see an x, this is how it's heard—
excite, exceed, extreme, extent,
explore, explode—that's excellent!
Now, when you see an x at the end of a word,
the sound of "ks" will still be heard,
as in six, fix, ax, and mix, flex, fox, wax, and ox.

Now, x is a crossing, and x marks the spot!
If you want to know some more, this is what I've got:
When x starts a word it's got the sound of a z.
Will I give you an example? Most definitely!
Xylophone, the instrument!

I like your creative Xs!
Great X-photos you have found!
Xylophone - it was my first thought by letter X, but I could not make a photo... - that is really cool.
Greetings from Germany
Xcellent Wil as ever, where was the barge/boat with lots of

Great X-photos, Wil! I can see you took your time with this one:) Do you know that if you go on google, you can look up words starting with X? Have an enjoyable week!
What an interesting outdoor musical instrument. - Margy
I love the x's you captured in your photographs for this phonics lesson. Blessings! #16
great job on enlightening us about 'X'!
I don't do the Alphabet meme, but your blog and one other one I read (Hildred in Canada) that did the letter X in such a brilliant way; I would have been at a total loss how to cover this letter.
I enjoyed this immensely.
You did mighty fine with this difficult letter.

Very interesting and observant post Wil. X is a real dilly, isn't it?
I really like the "X's" on the side of the building!!

Fantastic and creative finds!
That is such an interesting xylophone… wow, what a find!
Xylitol /ˈzaɪlɪtɒl/ is a sugar alcohol used as a sweetener. The name derives from Greek: ξύλον, xyl[on], "wood" + suffix -itol, used to denote sugar alcohols.
Something I just learn.
You most certainly can put on a very entertaining post. What an interesting X designed on that building.
An interesting way to hang the xylophone.
Gosh! I never even thought about it, but it's true!
There are more X words and sounds than I imagined! Like the tree xylophone!
