What's included in the Adelaide worksheet

Letters to trace: 8; Capital A + 7 lowercase
SSA popularity, 2025: #289; Girls' names, United States
Tracing difficulty: steady; Diagonal strokes in A

Adelaide is a solid practice name: a capital “A” and 7 lowercase letters that mix easy lines and curves with a few strokes taking more control. The diagonal strokes in “A” are the trickiest part — slanted lines are usually the last strokes young writers control, so expect extra passes there. Remind your child to finish “i” with the dot — dots and crosses are added last, after the letter body. 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 Adelaide was the #289 girls' name of 2025, a ready-made Adelaide tracing sheet like this one sees plenty of classroom use.

Forming the letters of Adelaide, one at a time:

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. Adelaide uses it twice.
e — A short bar across the middle, then curve up, over, and round like a c underneath it. Adelaide uses it twice.
l — One tall straight line from the top line down to the baseline.
a — Curve round like a c, close the circle, then a short line down its right side.
i — A short line from the midline down to the baseline, then a dot floated above it — body first, dot last.

Four of Adelaide's 8 letters stand full height on the guides — “A”, “d” and “l”. The rest are small letters with nothing hanging below the baseline — only the floating dot on “i” sits above the letter body.

Adelaide is one of the long ones: just 206 of the 1,918 names on this site run eight letters or more. On the 2025 girls' list it sits in the wide middle stretch, with 669 of the 953 girls' names on this site ranking behind it.

Adelaide was the #289 girls' name in the U.S. for 2025, per the Social Security Administration's public-domain baby-names data. The worksheet itself is one page — US Letter, A4-friendly — ruled with classic three-line handwriting guides plus a descender line below.

Tips for tracing Adelaide

The slants in “A” deserve their own warm-up row — once those land cleanly, the rest of Adelaide is familiar ground.
At 8 letters, Adelaide is a lot to take in one pass — cover the first 4 letters in one session and the remainder in the next before joining them up.
The dot on “i” comes at the very end of Adelaide: trace every letter body, then go back and dot.
Say the letter heights out loud as a chant while tracing — “tall, tall, small, tall, small, small, tall, small” — the size pattern of Adelaide sticks faster when it has words.
Close with a single unguided Adelaide on scrap paper. Tracing teaches the movement; writing it from memory makes it stick.

Customization options

Font style

The dotted style breaks each letter of Adelaide into a traceable outline; the solid light-gray style shows the whole letterform to write over. Most families start dotted and move to gray as pencil control improves — the dark example row stays either way.

Letter size

Three guide-line heights. At 8 letters, Adelaide is happiest on medium or small lines — the large size is better saved for warming up on one letter at a time.

Number of practice lines

The sheet holds 1 to 12 practice lines under the example row. Start low — three or four lines is plenty for a first session — and add more as sessions get longer.
