What's included in the Curtis worksheet

Letters to trace: 6; Capital C + 5 lowercase
SSA popularity, 2025: #984; Boys' names, United States
Tracing difficulty: steady; No diagonal strokes

There is real practice in Curtis without it being daunting: all 6 of its letters are different, mixing familiar shapes with one or two that reward a second pass. Remind your child to finish “i” with the dot — dots and crosses are added last, after the letter body. It starts with a capital “C”, one rounded stroke: begin at the top and keep the curve moving rather than lifting partway. The tall letter “t” reaches the top guide line — a common slip is stopping it at the height of the small letters instead. Because Curtis was the #984 boys' name of 2025, a ready-made Curtis tracing sheet like this one sees plenty of classroom use.

How each letter in Curtis 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.
u — A short line down, curve along the bottom, back up — then a small line down the right side to finish.
r — A short line down, then trace back up and add a little curved arm over to the right — and stop there.
t — A tallish line down that curves gently at the bottom, crossed with a short bar at the midline rather than the top.
i — A short line from the midline down to the baseline, then a dot floated above it — body first, dot last.
s — The same snake drawn half-size between the midline and the baseline.

Watch the skyline of Curtis: “C” and “t” reach the top guide line, two 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.

Curtis runs six letters, the single most common name length on this site (562 of the 1,918 names). It is also one of the rarer picks on this site, sitting deeper in the 2025 boys' list yet still ahead of 11 of the 965 boys' names.

Curtis was the #984 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 Curtis

Chunk it as “Cur” + “tis”: a short pause in the middle of Curtis keeps attention fresh through all six letters.
The dot on “i” comes at the very end of Curtis: trace every letter body, then go back and dot.
Say the letter heights out loud as a chant while tracing — “tall, small, small, tall, small, small” — the size pattern of Curtis sticks faster when it has words.
Finish each session with one try writing Curtis 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 Curtis in solid dark letters for reference.

Letter size

Three guide-line heights. Bigger lines mean fewer repetitions per page but easier control, and Curtis fits comfortably at all three — most families begin large and shrink from there.

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.
