What's included in the Persephone worksheet

Letters to trace: 10; Capital P + 9 lowercase
SSA popularity, 2025: #734; Girls' names, United States
Tracing difficulty: steady; No diagonal strokes

Persephone is a solid practice name: a capital “P” and 9 lowercase letters that mix easy lines and curves with a few strokes taking more control. Watch the tail on “p”: it drops below the baseline onto the lower guide line. The tall letter “h” reaches the top guide line — a common slip is stopping it at the height of the small letters instead. Because Persephone was the #734 girls' name of 2025, a ready-made Persephone tracing sheet like this one sees plenty of classroom use.

Forming the letters of Persephone, one at a time:

P — A big line down, then back to the top for one bump out to the right that closes at the middle. The two forms share their shape exactly; the difference is where they stand — the capital sits on the baseline while the small p sinks its stick below it.
e — A short bar across the middle, then curve up, over, and round like a c underneath it. Persephone uses it three times.
r — A short line down, then trace back up and add a little curved arm over to the right — and stop there.
s — The same snake drawn half-size between the midline and the baseline.
p — A line straight down past the baseline, then back up for the same bump at the top.
h — A tall line down, then trace back up halfway and over the hump to the baseline.
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 Persephone come from “P” and “h” — two of its 10 letters reach the top guide line. One letter hangs a tail beneath the baseline, so the sheet's lower guide line sees real use on this name.

Persephone is one of the long ones: just 11 of the 1,918 names on this site run ten 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 249 of the 953 girls' names.

Persephone was the #734 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 Persephone

Break Persephone into two sittings: 5 letters now, the rest later — 10 letters at once is where early tracers tire and shapes slump.
The letter “p” in Persephone hangs below the line on purpose: show your child the lower guide line, then let the tail land on it.
Close with a single unguided Persephone 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 Persephone 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

Small, medium, or large guide lines. Because Persephone runs 10 letters, medium or small keeps the whole name on each line; use large for single-letter warm-ups.

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.

Is Persephone an easy name for a child to learn to trace?

Which letters in Persephone go below the line?

In Persephone, “p” has a tail that drops below the baseline. This worksheet prints a fourth, lower guide line under every row so the tail has a clear landing spot — a detail flat single-line paper misses.

What letter size works best for tracing Persephone?
