What's included in the Bradley worksheet

Letters to trace: 7; Capital B + 6 lowercase
SSA popularity, 2025: #403; Boys' names, United States
Tracing difficulty: steady; Diagonal strokes in y

Bradley 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 “d” and “l” reach the top guide line — a common slip is stopping them at the height of the small letters instead. Because Bradley was the #403 boys' name of 2025, a ready-made Bradley tracing sheet like this one sees plenty of classroom use.

Stroke by stroke, the letters of Bradley:

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.
r — A short line down, then trace back up and add a little curved arm over to the right — and stop there.
a — Curve round like a c, close the circle, then a short line down its right side.
d — Curve round like a c first, then a tall line up on its right side and straight back down.
l — One tall straight line from the top line down to the baseline.
e — A short bar across the middle, then curve up, over, and round like a c underneath it.
y — A short slant down to the baseline, met by a longer slant that keeps going below the line to hang its tail.

Watch the skyline of Bradley: “B”, “d” and “l” reach the top guide line, three tall letters out of 7. One letter hangs a tail beneath the baseline, so the sheet's lower guide line sees real use on this name.

At seven letters, Bradley is on the long side — only 206 of the 1,918 names here run longer. On the 2025 boys' list it sits in the wide middle stretch, with 570 of the 965 boys' names on this site ranking behind it.

Bradley was the #403 boys' name in the U.S. for 2025, per the Social Security Administration's public-domain baby-names data. Each sheet prints as a single page on US Letter or A4, carrying three-line handwriting guides with a fourth descender line underneath.

Tips for tracing Bradley

Open each session with “y” on its own: slanted lines are the strokes children control last, so isolating them first makes Bradley feel shorter than it is.
Break Bradley 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 — Bradley 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 Bradley.
Close with a single unguided Bradley 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 Bradley 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

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

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.
