What's included in the Charli worksheet

Letters to trace: 6; Capital C + 5 lowercase
SSA popularity, 2025: #496; Girls' names, United States
Tracing difficulty: steady; No diagonal strokes

Charli sits in the middle of the range — from the capital “C” on, most of its 6 letters are shapes a beginner already knows, and the rest are the ones worth slowing down for. Remind your child to finish “i” with the dot — dots and crosses are added last, after the letter body. The tall letters “h” and “l” reach the top guide line — a common slip is stopping them at the height of the small letters instead. Because Charli was the #496 girls' name of 2025, a ready-made Charli tracing sheet like this one sees plenty of classroom use.

How each letter in Charli is formed:

C — One open curve: start just below the top line, swing up and over to the left, round the bottom, and stop before closing the circle.
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.
r — A short line down, then trace back up and add a little curved arm over to the right — and stop there.
l — One tall straight line from the top line down to the baseline.
i — A short line from the midline down to the baseline, then a dot floated above it — body first, dot last.

Watch the skyline of Charli: “C”, “h” and “l” reach the top guide line, three tall letters out of 6. The rest are small letters with nothing hanging below the baseline — only the floating dot on “i” sits above the letter body.

Charli runs six letters, the single most common name length on this site (562 of the 1,918 names). On the 2025 girls' list it sits in the wide middle stretch, with 468 of the 953 girls' names on this site ranking behind it.

Charli was the #496 girls' 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 Charli

Split Charli down the middle: trace “Cha”, pause, then “rli” — two short chunks are easier to hold in mind than six letters at once.
Teach "body first, dot last" with “i” — finish the downstroke, lift, and only then place the dot.
Give Charli its height song: “tall, tall, small, small, tall, small”. Chanting the sizes while tracing keeps tall letters tall and small letters small.
Finish each session with one try writing Charli on blank paper — tracing builds the motor pattern, writing from memory locks it in.

Customization options

Font style

Dotted letters are the classic preschool tracing outline; solid light-gray letters are the next step, for writing directly over the full letterform. The example row of Charli always prints in solid dark letters for reference.

Letter size

Pick from three letter sizes. With 6 letters, Charli 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.
