What's included in the Cody worksheet

Letters to trace: 4; Capital C + 3 lowercase
SSA popularity, 2025: #318; Boys' names, United States
Tracing difficulty: challenging; Diagonal strokes in y

Cody packs real handwriting practice into 4 letters: the capital “C” is only the start, and several strokes further in are ones children usually master last. 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 letter “d” reaches the top guide line — a common slip is stopping it at the height of the small letters instead. Because Cody was the #318 boys' name of 2025, a ready-made Cody tracing sheet like this one sees plenty of classroom use.

Forming the letters of Cody, one at a time:

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.
o — The same closed circle drawn half-size, sitting between the midline and the baseline.
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.

Watch the skyline of Cody: “C” and “d” reach the top guide line, two tall letters out of 4. One letter hangs a tail beneath the baseline, so the sheet's lower guide line sees real use on this name.

Cody is compact: 257 of the site's names are four letters like it, and just 60 come in shorter. On the 2025 boys' list it sits in the wide middle stretch, with 653 of the 965 boys' names on this site ranking behind it.

Cody was the #318 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 Cody

Warm up on the slanted strokes in “y” before the full name — diagonals are the lines young writers master last, and five lone tries first make the whole of Cody feel easier.
The letter “y” in Cody hangs below the line on purpose: show your child the lower guide line, then let the tail land on it.
Call out “tall, small, tall, tail” as the pencil moves — naming each letter's height is the quickest fix for uneven sizing in Cody.
A short name finishes its lines quickly, so save the last practice line for one “best Cody yet” attempt instead of another routine pass.
Finish each session with one try writing Cody 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 Cody in solid dark letters for reference.

Letter size

Pick from three letter sizes. With 4 letters, Cody 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.
