Mathew leans toward the demanding end of the stroke range — all 6 of its letters are different, with more than one letter that arrives only after the basic lines and curves are solid. The diagonal strokes in “M” and “w” are the trickiest part — slanted lines are usually the last strokes young writers control, so expect extra passes there. The tall letters “t” and “h” reach the top guide line — a common slip is stopping them at the height of the small letters instead. Because Mathew was the #973 boys' name of 2025, a ready-made Mathew tracing sheet like this one sees plenty of classroom use.
Stroke by stroke, the letters of Mathew:
- 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.
- t — A tallish line down that curves gently at the bottom, crossed with a short bar at the midline rather than the top.
- h — A tall line down, then trace back up halfway and over the hump to the baseline.
- e — A short bar across the middle, then curve up, over, and round like a c underneath it.
- w — The same four slants at half size — two little points side by side on the baseline.
Three of Mathew's 6 letters stand full height on the guides — “M”, “t” and “h”. The rest stay between the midline and the baseline with nothing hanging below, which gives a finished row of Mathew an even, tidy silhouette.
Mathew 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 22 of the 965 boys' names.
Mathew was the #973 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 Mathew
- Warm up on the slanted strokes in “M” and “w” before the full name — diagonals are the lines young writers master last, and five lone tries first make the whole of Mathew feel easier.
- Try “Mat”, breathe, then “hew” — halving Mathew turns one long word into two easy wins.
- Give Mathew its height song: “tall, small, tall, tall, small, small”. Chanting the sizes while tracing keeps tall letters tall and small letters small.
- Finish each session with one try writing Mathew on blank paper — tracing builds the motor pattern, writing from memory locks it in.
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 Mathew in solid dark letters for reference.
Letter size
The size option changes the guide-line height. Mathew fits at every setting; the large lines are the friendliest starting point, and stepping down makes a natural next milestone.
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.
