What's included in the Bethany worksheet

Letters to trace: 7; Capital B + 6 lowercase
SSA popularity, 2025: #751; Girls' names, United States
Tracing difficulty: steady; Diagonal strokes in y

Bethany sits in the middle of the range — from the capital “B” on, most of its 7 letters are shapes a beginner already knows, and the rest are the ones worth slowing down for. The diagonal strokes in “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 Bethany was the #751 girls' name of 2025, a ready-made Bethany tracing sheet like this one sees plenty of classroom use.

How each letter in Bethany 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.
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.
a — Curve round like a c, close the circle, then a short line down its right side.
n — A short line down, then back up and over a single hump 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 Bethany come from “B”, “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, Bethany 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 232 of the 953 girls' names.

Bethany was the #751 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 Bethany

The slants in “y” deserve their own warm-up row — once those land cleanly, the rest of Bethany is familiar ground.
Bethany 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.
Point out that “y” in Bethany dips below the baseline — the lower guide line on this sheet shows exactly how far the tail should go.
Give Bethany 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 Bethany 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 Bethany 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 7 letters, Bethany 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

You choose how many rows of Bethany 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.
