What's included in the Mordechai worksheet

Letters to trace: 9; Capital M + 8 lowercase
SSA popularity, 2025: #965; Boys' names, United States
Tracing difficulty: steady; Diagonal strokes in M

There is real practice in Mordechai without it being daunting: all 9 of its letters are different, 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 tall letters “d” and “h” reach the top guide line — a common slip is stopping them at the height of the small letters instead. Because Mordechai was the #965 boys' name of 2025, a ready-made Mordechai tracing sheet like this one sees plenty of classroom use.

How each letter in Mordechai 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.
o — The same closed circle drawn half-size, sitting between the midline and the baseline.
r — A short line down, then trace back up and add a little curved arm over to the right — and stop there.
d — Curve round like a c first, then a tall line up on its right side and straight back down.
e — A short bar across the middle, then curve up, over, and round like a c underneath it.
c — The same single open curve as the capital, drawn half-size between the midline and the baseline.
h — A tall line down, then trace back up halfway and over the hump to the baseline.
a — Curve round like a c, close the circle, then a short line down its right side.
i — A short line from the midline down to the baseline, then a dot floated above it — body first, dot last.

The tall strokes in Mordechai come from “M”, “d” and “h” — three of its 9 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.

Mordechai 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 boys' list yet still ahead of 30 of the 965 boys' names.

Mordechai was the #965 boys' 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 Mordechai

Open each session with “M” on its own: slanted lines are the strokes children control last, so isolating them first makes Mordechai feel shorter than it is.
At 9 letters, Mordechai is a lot to take in one pass — cover the first 5 letters in one session and the remainder in the next before joining them up.
The dot on “i” comes at the very end of Mordechai: trace every letter body, then go back and dot.
Close with a single unguided Mordechai on scrap paper. Tracing teaches the movement; writing it from memory makes it stick.

Customization options

Font style

The dotted style breaks each letter of Mordechai 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

Pick from three letter sizes. A longer name like Mordechai 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

Set 1 to 12 practice lines below the example row. Fewer, larger lines for beginners; more, smaller lines for daily practice sheets.
