What's included in the Jedidiah worksheet

Letters to trace: 8; Capital J + 7 lowercase
SSA popularity, 2025: #874; Boys' names, United States
Tracing difficulty: steady; No diagonal strokes

Tracing Jedidiah is a step up from the basics — it spells out with 6 different letters over 8 positions, and a handful of them ask for a steadier pencil than plain lines do. Remind your child to finish “i” with the dot — dots and crosses are added last, after the letter body. It starts with a capital “J”, which joins a straight stroke to a curve — draw the line first, then add the curve to it. The tall letters “d” and “h” reach the top guide line — a common slip is stopping them at the height of the small letters instead. Because Jedidiah was the #874 boys' name of 2025, a ready-made Jedidiah tracing sheet like this one sees plenty of classroom use.

How each letter in Jedidiah is formed:

J — A big line down that curves to the left at the bottom, like a hook catching the baseline.
e — A short bar across the middle, then curve up, over, and round like a c underneath it.
d — Curve round like a c first, then a tall line up on its right side and straight back down. Jedidiah uses it twice.
i — A short line from the midline down to the baseline, then a dot floated above it — body first, dot last. Jedidiah uses it twice.
a — Curve round like a c, close the circle, then a short line down its right side.
h — A tall line down, then trace back up halfway and over the hump to the baseline.

Four of Jedidiah's 8 letters stand full height on the guides — “J”, “d” and “h”. The rest are small letters with nothing hanging below the baseline — only the floating dot on “i” sits above the letter body.

Jedidiah is one of the long ones: just 206 of the 1,918 names on this site run eight letters or more. It is also one of the rarer picks on this site, sitting deeper in the 2025 boys' list yet still ahead of 115 of the 965 boys' names.

Jedidiah was the #874 boys' name in the U.S. for 2025, per the Social Security Administration's public-domain baby-names data. One page is all it takes: three-line handwriting guides with a descender line below them, sized for US Letter and printing cleanly on A4.

Tips for tracing Jedidiah

Break Jedidiah into two sittings: 4 letters now, the rest later — 8 letters at once is where early tracers tire and shapes slump.
Teach "body first, dot last" with “i” — finish the downstroke, lift, and only then place the dot.
Call out “tall, small, tall, small, tall, small, small, tall” as the pencil moves — naming each letter's height is the quickest fix for uneven sizing in Jedidiah.
Close with a single unguided Jedidiah on scrap paper. Tracing teaches the movement; writing it from memory makes it stick.

Customization options

Font style

Choose dotted outlines while your child is still learning where each stroke goes, and switch to solid light-gray once tracing gets confident — writing over the full letterform is the bridge to copying. The first row always shows Jedidiah solid and dark.

Letter size

Three guide-line heights. At 8 letters, Jedidiah is happiest on medium or small lines — the large size is better saved for warming up on one letter at a time.

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.
