What's included in the Maverick worksheet

Letters to trace: 8; Capital M + 7 lowercase
SSA popularity, 2025: #49; Boys' names, United States
Tracing difficulty: challenging; Diagonal strokes in M, v, k

Maverick is a workout for a young writer: all 8 of its letters are different, and enough of them use the strokes that come last to make this a name worth repeating. The diagonal strokes in “M”, “v” and “k” 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 tall letter “k” reaches the top guide line — a common slip is stopping it at the height of the small letters instead. Because Maverick was the #49 boys' name of 2025, a ready-made Maverick tracing sheet like this one sees plenty of classroom use.

How each letter in Maverick 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.
v — The same two slants drawn half-size, meeting in a point on the baseline.
e — A short bar across the middle, then curve up, over, and round like a c underneath it.
r — A short line down, then trace back up and add a little curved arm over to the right — and stop there.
i — A short line from the midline down to the baseline, then a dot floated above it — body first, dot last.
c — The same single open curve as the capital, drawn half-size between the midline and the baseline.
k — A tall line down, then the same two little kicks — in to the midline and back out to the baseline.

Watch the skyline of Maverick: “M” and “k” reach the top guide line, two tall letters out of 8. The rest are small letters with nothing hanging below the baseline — only the floating dot on “i” sits above the letter body.

Maverick is one of the long ones: just 206 of the 1,918 names on this site run eight letters or more. It also cracks the top 100 of the 2025 boys' list — 916 of the 965 boys' names here rank behind it.

Maverick was the #49 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 Maverick

Warm up on the slanted strokes in “M”, “v” and “k” before the full name — diagonals are the lines young writers master last, and five lone tries first make the whole of Maverick feel easier.
At 8 letters, Maverick 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.
Call out “tall, small, small, small, small, small, small, tall” as the pencil moves — naming each letter's height is the quickest fix for uneven sizing in Maverick.
Finish each session with one try writing Maverick 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 Maverick in solid dark letters for reference.

Letter size

Pick from three letter sizes. A longer name like Maverick keeps all 8 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 Maverick 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.
