What's included in the Lyla worksheet

Letters to trace: 4; Capital L + 3 lowercase
SSA popularity, 2025: #80; Girls' names, United States
Tracing difficulty: steady; Diagonal strokes in y

Tracing Lyla 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. It starts with a capital “L” — straight strokes only, which makes it a forgiving first letter to land. Because Lyla was the #80 girls' name of 2025, a ready-made Lyla tracing sheet like this one sees plenty of classroom use.

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

L — One big line down, then turn the corner and draw a bar along the bottom without lifting the pencil. Capital L turns a corner; lowercase l is the simplest letter in the alphabet — a single tall stick with nothing added.
y — A short slant down to the baseline, met by a longer slant that keeps going below the line to hang its tail.
l — One tall straight line from the top line down to the baseline.
a — Curve round like a c, close the circle, then a short line down its right side.

Two of Lyla's 4 letters stand full height on the guides — “L” and “l”. 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 Lyla make up 257 of this site's 1,918, with only 60 names shorter still. It also cracks the top 100 of the 2025 girls' list — 873 of the 953 girls' names here rank behind it.

Lyla was the #80 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 Lyla

The slants in “y” deserve their own warm-up row — once those land cleanly, the rest of Lyla is familiar ground.
Point out that “y” in Lyla dips below the baseline — the lower guide line on this sheet shows exactly how far the tail should go.
Call out “tall, tail, tall, small” as the pencil moves — naming each letter's height is the quickest fix for uneven sizing in Lyla.
A short name finishes its lines quickly, so save the last practice line for one “best Lyla yet” attempt instead of another routine pass.
Finish each session with one try writing Lyla on blank paper — tracing builds the motor pattern, writing from memory locks it in.

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 Lyla solid and dark.

Letter size

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

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.
