Cursive X Worksheets
On this page, you will find a complete set of free printable cursive X worksheets designed to help children and beginners learn how to write the letter X with confidence and control. Each worksheet provides guided tracing activities and step-by-step practice to make cursive handwriting both simple and engaging.
In this collection, you’ll find three focused worksheet types that build skills step by step: Big Cursive “X” Letters, Cursive “X” Upper & Lowercase, and Cursive “X” 3 Letter Words.
Big Cursive X Letters
The Big Cursive “X” Letters worksheet introduces the unique crossing motion that defines the cursive X. Starting with larger shapes helps students understand how to keep their strokes balanced and connected on the writing line.
To write a cursive capital X, begin at the top line with a smooth diagonal stroke down to the baseline, then lift slightly and create another gentle diagonal crossing in the opposite direction. For lowercase “x,” start at the midline, form a small curve that loops downward, then cross through it lightly near the middle.
Encourage learners to trace these letters slowly and pay attention to the points where lines cross. Practicing big shapes first improves coordination and helps students develop accuracy and rhythm.
Cursive X Upper & Lowercase
The Cursive “X” Upper & Lowercase worksheet helps students practice connecting uppercase and lowercase X in one flowing motion. This section focuses on spacing, consistency, and learning how to move smoothly between letters.
Start with a capital X and continue directly into a lowercase x without lifting the pen. The movement should be light and continuous, maintaining a gentle slant across the line.
Students should trace several times before writing independently. Keeping a steady pace and smooth motion will help them form the letter cleanly and confidently.
Cursive X 3 Letter Words
The Cursive “X” 3 Letter Words worksheet allows learners to apply their practice by writing short words that include or end with X.
Examples such as “box,” “fix,” and “mix” are excellent for showing how cursive X connects to other letters. Encourage students to trace first and then write freely to build fluency. Reading the words aloud while writing helps improve memory and focus.
Repetition of these short exercises develops stronger hand control and smoother writing flow with every page.
