No surprise - there aren't picture books to support studying the letter X! Wish there was one though. There are lots of great action words that include the letter X: extend, expand, explode....
Also, having students make Xs with their whole body is a simple and wonderful thing - whether on the floor or standing.
As I have suggested in several prior posts, creating a book bin of alphabet books is a great idea. For example with the letter X, look at all of the "X pages" in your bin. Have students pair up, and give each pair one alphabet book. Ask them to find the X page. What movement or shape can they create related to that page? Give each pair a chance to share in front of the class. Again, you can string all of the ideas together to create a "X Dance."
