What's included in the Madisson worksheet

Letters to trace: 8; Capital M + 7 lowercase
SSA popularity, 2025: #319; Girls' names, United States
Tracing difficulty: steady; Diagonal strokes in M

There is real practice in Madisson without it being daunting: it spells out with 7 different letters over 8 positions, mixing familiar shapes with one or two that reward a second pass. 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 “s” is a nice rhythm builder: tracing the same letter twice in a row helps the shape stick. Because Madisson was the #319 girls' name of 2025, a ready-made Madisson tracing sheet like this one sees plenty of classroom use.

Stroke by stroke, the letters of Madisson:

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.
i — A short line from the midline down to the baseline, then a dot floated above it — body first, dot last.
s — The same snake drawn half-size between the midline and the baseline. Madisson uses it twice.
o — The same closed circle drawn half-size, sitting between the midline and the baseline.
n — A short line down, then back up and over a single hump to the baseline.

The tall strokes in Madisson come from “M” and “d” — two of its 8 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.

Madisson is one of the long ones: just 206 of the 1,918 names on this site run eight letters or more. Its popularity is middle-of-the-list for 2025 girls' names — still ahead of 640 of the 953 here.

Madisson was the #319 girls' name in the U.S. for 2025, per the Social Security Administration's public-domain baby-names data. Every worksheet is a single US Letter page (prints on A4 too) with three-line handwriting guides and a descender line.

Tips for tracing Madisson

Warm up on the slanted strokes in “M” before the full name — diagonals are the lines young writers master last, and five lone tries first make the whole of Madisson feel easier.
At 8 letters, Madisson is a lot to take in one pass — cover the first 4 letters in one session and the remainder in the next before joining them up.
Teach "body first, dot last" with “i” — finish the downstroke, lift, and only then place the dot.
The double “s” in Madisson is a built-in rhythm drill: two identical shapes back to back, so the second one should come out steadier than the first.
Say the letter heights out loud as a chant while tracing — “tall, small, tall, small, small, small, small, small” — the size pattern of Madisson sticks faster when it has words.
Finish each session with one try writing Madisson 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 Madisson always prints in solid dark letters for reference.

Letter size

The size option changes the guide-line height. Madisson is a longer name, so medium or small keeps every letter on the line — save large for isolated stroke practice.

Number of practice lines

The sheet holds 1 to 12 practice lines under the example row. Start low — three or four lines is plenty for a first session — and add more as sessions get longer.
