What's included in the Magdalena worksheet

Letters to trace: 9; Capital M + 8 lowercase
SSA popularity, 2025: #849; Girls' names, United States
Tracing difficulty: steady; Diagonal strokes in M

Tracing Magdalena is a step up from the basics — it spells out with 7 different letters over 9 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. Watch the tail on “g”: it drops below the baseline onto the lower guide line. The tall letters “d” and “l” reach the top guide line — a common slip is stopping them at the height of the small letters instead. Because Magdalena was the #849 girls' name of 2025, a ready-made Magdalena tracing sheet like this one sees plenty of classroom use.

How each letter in Magdalena 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. Magdalena uses it three times.
g — Curve round like a c, close the circle, then a line down past the baseline that curls to the left underneath.
d — Curve round like a c first, then a tall line up on its right side and straight back down.
l — One tall straight line from the top line down to the baseline.
e — A short bar across the middle, then curve up, over, and round like a c underneath it.
n — A short line down, then back up and over a single hump to the baseline.

Three of Magdalena's 9 letters stand full height on the guides — “M”, “d” and “l”. One letter hangs a tail beneath the baseline, so the sheet's lower guide line sees real use on this name.

Magdalena is one of the long ones: just 65 of the 1,918 names on this site run nine letters or more. It is also one of the rarer picks on this site, sitting deeper in the 2025 girls' list yet still ahead of 142 of the 953 girls' names.

Magdalena was the #849 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 Magdalena

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 Magdalena feel easier.
Break Magdalena into two sittings: 5 letters now, the rest later — 9 letters at once is where early tracers tire and shapes slump.
Before starting, trace the tail of “g” with a finger down to the lower guide line — Magdalena is a name that uses the line below the baseline.
End every session the same way: one Magdalena on blank paper, no guides — recall is what turns a traced pattern into a learned one.

Customization options

Font style

Two tracing styles: dotted outlines — the classic preschool form — or solid light-gray letters for writing directly over the full shape. Whichever you pick, the example row keeps Magdalena in solid dark letters for reference.

Letter size

Pick from three letter sizes. A longer name like Magdalena keeps all 9 letters on one line at medium or small; on large, use the lines for a few letters at a time instead.

Number of practice lines

You choose how many rows of Magdalena 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.
