What's included in the Brady worksheet

Letters to trace: 5; Capital B + 4 lowercase
SSA popularity, 2025: #321; Boys' names, United States
Tracing difficulty: challenging; Diagonal strokes in y

Brady leans toward the demanding end of the stroke range — all 5 of its letters are different, with more than one letter that arrives only after the basic lines and curves are solid. 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. 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 Brady was the #321 boys' name of 2025, a ready-made Brady tracing sheet like this one sees plenty of classroom use.

How each letter in Brady 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.
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.
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 Brady come from “B” and “d” — two of its 5 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.

Brady runs five letters, a length it shares with 502 of the 1,918 names on this site. Popularity-wise it lands in the broad middle of the 2025 boys' list, still ahead of 651 of the 965 boys' names here.

Brady was the #321 boys' 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 Brady

Open each session with “y” on its own: slanted lines are the strokes children control last, so isolating them first makes Brady feel shorter than it is.
Try “Bra”, breathe, then “dy” — halving Brady turns one long word into two easy wins.
Before starting, trace the tail of “y” with a finger down to the lower guide line — Brady is a name that uses the line below the baseline.
Say the letter heights out loud as a chant while tracing — “tall, small, small, tall, tail” — the size pattern of Brady sticks faster when it has words.
Finish each session with one try writing Brady on blank paper — tracing builds the motor pattern, writing from memory locks it in.

Customization options

Font style

Two tracing styles: dotted outlines — the classic preschool form — or solid light-gray letters for writing directly over the full shape. Whichever you pick, the example row keeps Brady in solid dark letters for reference.

Letter size

Pick from three letter sizes. With 5 letters, Brady sits well at any of them, so let your child's control decide: large while strokes are new, smaller once they steady.

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.
