What's included in the Augustus worksheet

Letters to trace: 8; Capital A + 7 lowercase
SSA popularity, 2025: #407; Boys' names, United States
Tracing difficulty: steady; Diagonal strokes in A

Augustus 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. 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 Augustus was the #407 boys' name of 2025, a ready-made Augustus tracing sheet like this one sees plenty of classroom use.

Stroke by stroke, the letters of Augustus:

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. Augustus uses it three times.
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. Augustus 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.

Watch the skyline of Augustus: “A” and “t” reach the top guide line, two tall letters out of 8. One letter hangs a tail beneath the baseline, so the sheet's lower guide line sees real use on this name.

Augustus is one of the long ones: just 206 of the 1,918 names on this site run eight letters or more. Popularity-wise it lands in the broad middle of the 2025 boys' list, still ahead of 566 of the 965 boys' names here.

Augustus was the #407 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 Augustus

Open each session with “A” on its own: slanted lines are the strokes children control last, so isolating them first makes Augustus feel shorter than it is.
Break Augustus into two sittings: 4 letters now, the rest later — 8 letters at once is where early tracers tire and shapes slump.
The letter “g” in Augustus hangs below the line on purpose: show your child the lower guide line, then let the tail land on it.
Call out “tall, small, tail, small, small, tall, small, small” as the pencil moves — naming each letter's height is the quickest fix for uneven sizing in Augustus.
Finish each session with one try writing Augustus on blank paper — tracing builds the motor pattern, writing from memory locks it in.

Customization options

Font style

The dotted style breaks each letter of Augustus 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, Augustus 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

Anywhere from 1 to 12 lines fits below the example row. A first session usually wants a few big lines; a daily practice sheet wants many smaller ones.
