What's included in the Anthony worksheet

Letters to trace: 7; Capital A + 6 lowercase
SSA popularity, 2025: #46; Boys' names, United States
Tracing difficulty: challenging; Diagonal strokes in A, y

Expect Anthony to take more passes than most: from the capital “A” onward, its 7 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 “t” and “h” reach the top guide line — a common slip is stopping them at the height of the small letters instead. Because Anthony was the #46 boys' name of 2025, a ready-made Anthony tracing sheet like this one sees plenty of classroom use.

Forming the letters of Anthony, 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.
n — A short line down, then back up and over a single hump to the baseline. Anthony uses it twice.
t — A tallish line down that curves gently at the bottom, crossed with a short bar at the midline rather than the top.
h — A tall line down, then trace back up halfway and over the hump to the baseline.
o — The same closed circle drawn half-size, sitting between the midline and 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.

The tall strokes in Anthony come from “A”, “t” and “h” — three of its 7 letters reach the top guide line. One letter hangs a tail beneath the baseline, so the sheet's lower guide line sees real use on this name.

At seven letters, Anthony is on the long side — only 206 of the 1,918 names here run longer. It also cracks the top 100 of the 2025 boys' list — 919 of the 965 boys' names here rank behind it.

Anthony was the #46 boys' 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 Anthony

Warm up on the slanted strokes in “A” and “y” before the full name — diagonals are the lines young writers master last, and five lone tries first make the whole of Anthony feel easier.
Anthony is 7 letters, so split early sessions in half: trace the first 4 letters one day and the rest the next, then put the whole name together.
The letter “y” in Anthony hangs below the line on purpose: show your child the lower guide line, then let the tail land on it.
Give Anthony its height song: “tall, small, tall, tall, small, small, tail”. Chanting the sizes while tracing keeps tall letters tall and small letters small.
Finish each session with one try writing Anthony on blank paper — tracing builds the motor pattern, writing from memory locks it in.

Customization options

Font style

Choose dotted outlines while your child is still learning where each stroke goes, and switch to solid light-gray once tracing gets confident — writing over the full letterform is the bridge to copying. The first row always shows Anthony solid and dark.

Letter size

The size option changes the guide-line height. Anthony is a longer name, so medium or small keeps every letter on the line — save large for isolated stroke practice.

Number of practice lines

You choose how many rows of Anthony print: 1 to 12 under the example row. New tracers do better with fewer, larger lines; confident ones can fill a full twelve-line page.
