What's included in the Kareem worksheet

Letters to trace: 6; Capital K + 5 lowercase
SSA popularity, 2025: #701; Boys' names, United States
Tracing difficulty: challenging; Diagonal strokes in K

Expect Kareem to take more passes than most: from the capital “K” onward, its 6 letters include several shapes that sit at the harder end of what children print. The diagonal strokes in “K” are the trickiest part — slanted lines are usually the last strokes young writers control, so expect extra passes there. The double “e” is a nice rhythm builder: tracing the same letter twice in a row helps the shape stick. Because Kareem was the #701 boys' name of 2025, a ready-made Kareem tracing sheet like this one sees plenty of classroom use.

The letters of Kareem, in the order they are written:

K — A big line down, then two slanted lines from the right: one kicks in to touch the middle of the line, the other kicks back out to the bottom corner.
a — Curve round like a c, close the circle, then a short line down its right side.
r — A short line down, then trace back up and add a little curved arm over to the right — and stop there.
e — A short bar across the middle, then curve up, over, and round like a c underneath it. Kareem uses it twice.
m — A short line down, then up and over one hump, and up and over a second hump — two humps, evenly sized.

After the full-height capital K, nothing in Kareem climbs to the top guide line again. The rest stay between the midline and the baseline with nothing hanging below, which gives a finished row of Kareem an even, tidy silhouette.

Kareem 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 283 of the 965 boys' names.

Kareem was the #701 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 Kareem

The slants in “K” deserve their own warm-up row — once those land cleanly, the rest of Kareem is familiar ground.
Chunk it as “Kar” + “eem”: a short pause in the middle of Kareem keeps attention fresh through all six letters.
Use the double “e” to build rhythm — say the letter aloud twice while tracing the pair.
Call out “tall, small, small, small, small, small” as the pencil moves — naming each letter's height is the quickest fix for uneven sizing in Kareem.
Finish each session with one try writing Kareem on blank paper — tracing builds the motor pattern, writing from memory locks it in.

Customization options

Font style

Dotted letters are the classic preschool tracing outline; solid light-gray letters are the next step, for writing directly over the full letterform. The example row of Kareem always prints in solid dark letters for reference.

Letter size

Pick from three letter sizes. With 6 letters, Kareem sits well at any of them, so let your child's control decide: large while strokes are new, smaller once they steady.

Number of practice lines

You choose how many rows of Kareem print: 1 to 12 under the example row. New tracers do better with fewer, larger lines; confident ones can fill a full twelve-line page.
