What's included in the Adalyn worksheet

Letters to trace: 6; Capital A + 5 lowercase
SSA popularity, 2025: #260; Girls' names, United States
Tracing difficulty: challenging; Diagonal strokes in A, y

Expect Adalyn to take more passes than most: from the capital “A” onward, its 6 letters include several shapes that sit at the harder end of what children print. The diagonal strokes in “A” and “y” are the trickiest part — slanted lines are usually the last strokes young writers control, so expect extra passes there. Watch the tail on “y”: it drops below the baseline onto the lower guide line. The tall letters “d” and “l” reach the top guide line — a common slip is stopping them at the height of the small letters instead. Because Adalyn was the #260 girls' name of 2025, a ready-made Adalyn tracing sheet like this one sees plenty of classroom use.

The letters of Adalyn, in the order they are written:

A — Two slanted lines that lean into each other from a point at the top, then a bar across the middle to join them. The two forms of A share nothing: the capital is all slanted lines, while lowercase a is a closed circle with a short stick — children usually find the small form easier.
d — Curve round like a c first, then a tall line up on its right side and straight back down.
a — Curve round like a c, close the circle, then a short line down its right side.
l — One tall straight line from the top line down to the baseline.
y — A short slant down to the baseline, met by a longer slant that keeps going below the line to hang its tail.
n — A short line down, then back up and over a single hump to the baseline.

Three of Adalyn's 6 letters stand full height on the guides — “A”, “d” and “l”. One letter hangs a tail beneath the baseline, so the sheet's lower guide line sees real use on this name.

Adalyn runs six letters, the single most common name length on this site (562 of the 1,918 names). Its popularity is middle-of-the-list for 2025 girls' names — still ahead of 696 of the 953 here.

Adalyn was the #260 girls' name in the U.S. for 2025, per the Social Security Administration's public-domain baby-names data. One page is all it takes: three-line handwriting guides with a descender line below them, sized for US Letter and printing cleanly on A4.

Tips for tracing Adalyn

Open each session with “A” and “y” on their own: slanted lines are the strokes children control last, so isolating them first makes Adalyn feel shorter than it is.
Split Adalyn down the middle: trace “Ada”, pause, then “lyn” — two short chunks are easier to hold in mind than six letters at once.
The letter “y” in Adalyn hangs below the line on purpose: show your child the lower guide line, then let the tail land on it.
Say the letter heights out loud as a chant while tracing — “tall, tall, small, tall, tail, small” — the size pattern of Adalyn sticks faster when it has words.
End every session the same way: one Adalyn on blank paper, no guides — recall is what turns a traced pattern into a learned one.

Customization options
