What's included in the Berkley worksheet

Letters to trace: 7; Capital B + 6 lowercase
SSA popularity, 2025: #887; Girls' names, United States
Tracing difficulty: challenging; Diagonal strokes in k, y

Berkley leans toward the demanding end of the stroke range — it spells out with 6 different letters over 7 positions, with more than one letter that arrives only after the basic lines and curves are solid. The diagonal strokes in “k” 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. It starts with a capital “B”, which joins a straight stroke to a curve — draw the line first, then add the curve to it. Because Berkley was the #887 girls' name of 2025, a ready-made Berkley tracing sheet like this one sees plenty of classroom use.

How each letter in Berkley is formed:

B — One big line down, then back to the top for two bumps out to the right — the first stops at the middle, the second at the bottom.
e — A short bar across the middle, then curve up, over, and round like a c underneath it. Berkley uses it twice.
r — A short line down, then trace back up and add a little curved arm over to the right — and stop there.
k — A tall line down, then the same two little kicks — in to the midline and back out to the baseline.
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.

The tall strokes in Berkley come from “B”, “k” and “l” — 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, Berkley is on the long side — only 206 of the 1,918 names here run longer. It is also one of the rarer picks on this site, sitting deeper in the 2025 girls' list yet still ahead of 104 of the 953 girls' names.

Berkley was the #887 girls' 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 Berkley

Open each session with “k” and “y” on their own: slanted lines are the strokes children control last, so isolating them first makes Berkley feel shorter than it is.
Break Berkley into two sittings: 4 letters now, the rest later — 7 letters at once is where early tracers tire and shapes slump.
Before starting, trace the tail of “y” with a finger down to the lower guide line — Berkley is a name that uses the line below the baseline.
Call out “tall, small, small, tall, tall, small, tail” as the pencil moves — naming each letter's height is the quickest fix for uneven sizing in Berkley.
Finish each session with one try writing Berkley 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 Berkley 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

Pick from three letter sizes. A longer name like Berkley keeps all 7 letters on one line at medium or small; on large, use the lines for a few letters at a time instead.

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.
