What's included in the August worksheet

Letters to trace: 6; Capital A + 5 lowercase
SSA popularity, 2025: #81; Boys' names, United States
Tracing difficulty: steady; Diagonal strokes in A

August is a solid practice name: a capital “A” and 5 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. Watch the tail on “g”: it drops below the baseline onto the lower guide line. The tall letter “t” reaches the top guide line — a common slip is stopping it at the height of the small letters instead. Because August was the #81 boys' name of 2025, a ready-made August tracing sheet like this one sees plenty of classroom use.

Forming the letters of August, 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.
u — A short line down, curve along the bottom, back up — then a small line down the right side to finish. August uses it twice.
g — Curve round like a c, close the circle, then a line down past the baseline that curls to the left underneath.
s — The same snake drawn half-size between the midline and the baseline.
t — A tallish line down that curves gently at the bottom, crossed with a short bar at the midline rather than the top.

Two of August's 6 letters stand full height on the guides — “A” and “t”. One letter hangs a tail beneath the baseline, so the sheet's lower guide line sees real use on this name.

August runs six letters, the single most common name length on this site (562 of the 1,918 names). It also cracks the top 100 of the 2025 boys' list — 884 of the 965 boys' names here rank behind it.

August was the #81 boys' name in the U.S. for 2025, per the Social Security Administration's public-domain baby-names data. Every worksheet is a single US Letter page (prints on A4 too) with three-line handwriting guides and a descender line.

Tips for tracing August

Warm up on the slanted strokes in “A” before the full name — diagonals are the lines young writers master last, and five lone tries first make the whole of August feel easier.
Chunk it as “Aug” + “ust”: a short pause in the middle of August keeps attention fresh through all six letters.
The letter “g” in August hangs below the line on purpose: show your child the lower guide line, then let the tail land on it.
Give August its height song: “tall, small, tail, small, small, tall”. Chanting the sizes while tracing keeps tall letters tall and small letters small.
Close with a single unguided August 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 August 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

Small, medium, or large guide lines. August fits at every size — start large for first attempts and step down as pencil control improves.

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.
