What's included in the Emmy worksheet

Letters to trace: 4; Capital E + 3 lowercase
SSA popularity, 2025: #445; Girls' names, United States
Tracing difficulty: steady; Diagonal strokes in y

Tracing Emmy is a step up from the basics — it spells out with 3 different letters over 4 positions, and a handful of them ask for a steadier pencil than plain lines do. 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 double “m” is a nice rhythm builder: tracing the same letter twice in a row helps the shape stick. Because Emmy was the #445 girls' name of 2025, a ready-made Emmy tracing sheet like this one sees plenty of classroom use.

Forming the letters of Emmy, one at a time:

E — A big line down, then three bars out to the right: one along the top, one at the middle, one along the bottom.
m — A short line down, then up and over one hump, and up and over a second hump — two humps, evenly sized. Emmy uses it twice.
y — A short slant down to the baseline, met by a longer slant that keeps going below the line to hang its tail.

Emmy is a one-tall-letter name: the capital E owns the top guide line, and the rest of the word sits low. One letter hangs a tail beneath the baseline, so the sheet's lower guide line sees real use on this name.

Four-letter names like Emmy make up 257 of this site's 1,918, with only 60 names shorter still. On the 2025 girls' list it sits in the wide middle stretch, with 517 of the 953 girls' names on this site ranking behind it.

Emmy was the #445 girls' 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 Emmy

Open each session with “y” on its own: slanted lines are the strokes children control last, so isolating them first makes Emmy feel shorter than it is.
Before starting, trace the tail of “y” with a finger down to the lower guide line — Emmy is a name that uses the line below the baseline.
The double “m” in Emmy is a built-in rhythm drill: two identical shapes back to back, so the second one should come out steadier than the first.
Give Emmy its height song: “tall, small, small, tail”. Chanting the sizes while tracing keeps tall letters tall and small letters small.
A short name finishes its lines quickly, so save the last practice line for one “best Emmy yet” attempt instead of another routine pass.
Finish each session with one try writing Emmy 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 Emmy in solid dark letters for reference.

Letter size

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

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.
