What's included in the Maddie worksheet

Letters to trace: 6; Capital M + 5 lowercase
SSA popularity, 2025: #925; Girls' names, United States
Tracing difficulty: steady; Diagonal strokes in M

Tracing Maddie is a step up from the basics — it spells out with 5 different letters over 6 positions, and a handful of them ask for a steadier pencil than plain lines do. The diagonal strokes in “M” are the trickiest part — slanted lines are usually the last strokes young writers control, so expect extra passes there. Remind your child to finish “i” with the dot — dots and crosses are added last, after the letter body. The double “d” is a nice rhythm builder: tracing the same letter twice in a row helps the shape stick. Because Maddie was the #925 girls' name of 2025, a ready-made Maddie tracing sheet like this one sees plenty of classroom use.

How each letter in Maddie is formed:

M — A big line down, then from the top: slant down to the baseline, slant back up, and one more big line down.
a — Curve round like a c, close the circle, then a short line down its right side.
d — Curve round like a c first, then a tall line up on its right side and straight back down. Maddie uses it twice.
i — A short line from the midline down to the baseline, then a dot floated above it — body first, dot last.
e — A short bar across the middle, then curve up, over, and round like a c underneath it.

The tall strokes in Maddie come from “M” and “d” — three of its 6 letters reach the top guide line. The rest are small letters with nothing hanging below the baseline — only the floating dot on “i” sits above the letter body.

Maddie 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 girls' list yet still ahead of 69 of the 953 girls' names.

Maddie was the #925 girls' name in the U.S. for 2025, per the Social Security Administration's public-domain baby-names data. Each sheet prints as a single page on US Letter or A4, carrying three-line handwriting guides with a fourth descender line underneath.

Tips for tracing Maddie

The slants in “M” deserve their own warm-up row — once those land cleanly, the rest of Maddie is familiar ground.
Try “Mad”, breathe, then “die” — halving Maddie turns one long word into two easy wins.
Save the dot on “i” for last: letter body first, then lift the pencil and dot it.
Use the double “d” to build rhythm — say the letter aloud twice while tracing the pair.
Say the letter heights out loud as a chant while tracing — “tall, small, tall, tall, small, small” — the size pattern of Maddie sticks faster when it has words.
End every session the same way: one Maddie on blank paper, no guides — recall is what turns a traced pattern into a learned one.

Customization options

Font style

The dotted style breaks each letter of Maddie into a traceable outline; the solid light-gray style shows the whole letterform to write over. Most families start dotted and move to gray as pencil control improves — the dark example row stays either way.

Letter size

Small, medium, or large guide lines. Maddie 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.
