What's included in the Hollis worksheet

Letters to trace: 6; Capital H + 5 lowercase
SSA popularity, 2025: #893; Boys' names, United States
Tracing difficulty: gentle; No diagonal strokes

Hollis is a friendly first name to trace: a capital “H” and 5 lowercase letters, nearly all of them the simple lines and curves children learn first. Remind your child to finish “i” with the dot — dots and crosses are added last, after the letter body. The double “l” is a nice rhythm builder: tracing the same letter twice in a row helps the shape stick. The tall letter “l” reaches the top guide line — a common slip is stopping it at the height of the small letters instead. Because Hollis was the #893 boys' name of 2025, a ready-made Hollis tracing sheet like this one sees plenty of classroom use.

Stroke by stroke, the letters of Hollis:

H — Two big lines down side by side, then a bar across the middle to bridge them.
o — The same closed circle drawn half-size, sitting between the midline and the baseline.
l — One tall straight line from the top line down to the baseline. Hollis uses it twice.
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 Hollis: “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.

Hollis 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 97 of the 965 boys' names.

Hollis was the #893 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 Hollis

Chunk it as “Hol” + “lis”: a short pause in the middle of Hollis keeps attention fresh through all six letters.
The dot on “i” comes at the very end of Hollis: trace every letter body, then go back and dot.
Use the double “l” to build rhythm — say the letter aloud twice while tracing the pair.
Give Hollis its height song: “tall, small, tall, tall, small, small”. Chanting the sizes while tracing keeps tall letters tall and small letters small.
Close with a single unguided Hollis on scrap paper. Tracing teaches the movement; writing it from memory makes it stick.

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 Hollis in solid dark letters for reference.

Letter size

Small, medium, or large guide lines. Hollis fits at every size — start large for first attempts and step down as pencil control improves.

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.
