Letters to trace: 5; Capital R + 4 lowercase
SSA popularity, 2025: #775; Boys' names, United States
Tracing difficulty: steady; No diagonal strokes

There is real practice in Riggs without it being daunting: it spells out with 4 different letters over 5 positions, mixing familiar shapes with one or two that reward a second pass. Watch the tail on “g”: it drops below the baseline onto the lower guide line. Remind your child to finish “i” with the dot — dots and crosses are added last, after the letter body. The double “g” is a nice rhythm builder: tracing the same letter twice in a row helps the shape stick. Because Riggs was the #775 boys' name of 2025, a ready-made Riggs tracing sheet like this one sees plenty of classroom use.

The letters of Riggs, 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.
i — A short line from the midline down to the baseline, then a dot floated above it — body first, dot last.
g — Curve round like a c, close the circle, then a line down past the baseline that curls to the left underneath. Riggs uses it twice.
s — The same snake drawn half-size between the midline and the baseline.

Riggs is a one-tall-letter name: the capital R owns the top guide line, and the rest of the word sits low. Two letters hang a tail beneath the baseline, so the sheet's lower guide line sees real use on this name.

Riggs runs five letters, a length it shares with 502 of the 1,918 names on this site. It is also one of the rarer picks on this site, sitting deeper in the 2025 boys' list yet still ahead of 212 of the 965 boys' names.

Riggs was the #775 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 Riggs

Chunk it as “Rig” + “gs”: a short pause in the middle of Riggs keeps attention fresh through all five letters.
Point out that “g” in Riggs dips below the baseline — the lower guide line on this sheet shows exactly how far the tail should go.
Save the dot on “i” for last: letter body first, then lift the pencil and dot it.
The double “g” in Riggs is a built-in rhythm drill: two identical shapes back to back, so the second one should come out steadier than the first.
Call out “tall, small, tail, tail, small” as the pencil moves — naming each letter's height is the quickest fix for uneven sizing in Riggs.
Finish each session with one try writing Riggs 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 Riggs in solid dark letters for reference.

Letter size

The size option changes the guide-line height. Riggs fits at every setting; the large lines are the friendliest starting point, and stepping down makes a natural next milestone.

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.
