What's included in the Rhys worksheet

Letters to trace: 4; Capital R + 3 lowercase
SSA popularity, 2025: #410; Boys' names, United States
Tracing difficulty: challenging; Diagonal strokes in y

Rhys leans toward the demanding end of the stroke range — all 4 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 “y” are the trickiest part — slanted lines are usually the last strokes young writers control, so expect extra passes there. Watch the tail on “y”: it drops below the baseline onto the lower guide line. It starts with a capital “R”, which joins a straight stroke to a curve — draw the line first, then add the curve to it. Because Rhys was the #410 boys' name of 2025, a ready-made Rhys tracing sheet like this one sees plenty of classroom use.

The letters of Rhys, in the order they are written:

R — A big line down, a bump out to the right that closes at the middle, then a slanted leg kicking out to the bottom corner.
h — A tall line down, then trace back up halfway and over the hump to the baseline.
y — A short slant down to the baseline, met by a longer slant that keeps going below the line to hang its tail.
s — The same snake drawn half-size between the midline and the baseline.

The tall strokes in Rhys come from “R” and “h” — two of its 4 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.

Four-letter names like Rhys make up 257 of this site's 1,918, with only 60 names shorter still. Its popularity is middle-of-the-list for 2025 boys' names — still ahead of 561 of the 965 here.

Tips for tracing Rhys

Warm up on the slanted strokes in “y” before the full name — diagonals are the lines young writers master last, and five lone tries first make the whole of Rhys feel easier.
The letter “y” in Rhys hangs below the line on purpose: show your child the lower guide line, then let the tail land on it.
Give Rhys its height song: “tall, tall, tail, small”. Chanting the sizes while tracing keeps tall letters tall and small letters small.
Rhys fills its lines fast — turn the final line into a challenge round: the neatest Rhys of the day.
End every session the same way: one Rhys on blank paper, no guides — recall is what turns a traced pattern into a learned one.

Customization options

Font style

The dotted style breaks each letter of Rhys 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. With 4 letters, Rhys sits well at any of them, so let your child's control decide: large while strokes are new, smaller once they steady.

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.
