What's included in the Ivy worksheet

Letters to trace: 3; Capital I + 2 lowercase
SSA popularity, 2025: #39; Girls' names, United States
Tracing difficulty: challenging; Diagonal strokes in v, y

Ivy is a workout for a young writer: all 3 of its letters are different, and enough of them use the strokes that come last to make this a name worth repeating. The diagonal strokes in “v” and “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. It starts with a capital “I” — straight strokes only, which makes it a forgiving first letter to land. Because Ivy was the #39 girls' name of 2025, a ready-made Ivy tracing sheet like this one sees plenty of classroom use.

Forming the letters of Ivy, one at a time:

I — One straight line down the middle; many school styles add a short bar across the top and the bottom to cap it.
v — The same two slants drawn half-size, meeting in a point on the baseline.
y — A short slant down to the baseline, met by a longer slant that keeps going below the line to hang its tail.

Ivy is a one-tall-letter name: the capital I 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.

Ivy is genuinely short: just 60 of the 1,918 names on this site are three letters or fewer. On the popularity side it holds a top-100 spot on the 2025 girls' list, ranking ahead of 914 of the 953 girls' names on this site.

Ivy was the #39 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 Ivy

Open each session with “v” and “y” on their own: slanted lines are the strokes children control last, so isolating them first makes Ivy feel shorter than it is.
Before starting, trace the tail of “y” with a finger down to the lower guide line — Ivy is a name that uses the line below the baseline.
Say the letter heights out loud as a chant while tracing — “tall, small, tail” — the size pattern of Ivy sticks faster when it has words.
With a name as quick to trace as Ivy, keep one line in reserve for a slow, careful showpiece attempt at the end.
End every session the same way: one Ivy on blank paper, no guides — recall is what turns a traced pattern into a learned one.

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 Ivy in solid dark letters for reference.

Letter size

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

Number of practice lines

Set 1 to 12 practice lines below the example row. Fewer, larger lines for beginners; more, smaller lines for daily practice sheets.
