How X and x are drawn on this sheet
Capital X takes 2 strokes, each with a numbered dot where it starts. Stroke 1 starts on the top line at the left and slants down to the right; stroke 2 starts on the top line at the right and slants down to the left. Lowercase x is drawn in 2 strokes. Stroke 1 starts on the dashed midline at the left and slants down to the right; stroke 2 starts on the dashed midline at the right and slants down to the left. Lowercase x fits between the dashed midline and the baseline. Two dotted copies sit beside every model, the rows below are lighter dotted copies, and the bottom row is blank.
