What's included in the Roy worksheet

Letters to trace: 3; Capital R + 2 lowercase
SSA popularity, 2025: #525; Boys' names, United States
Tracing difficulty: challenging; Diagonal strokes in y

Roy is a workout for a young writer: all 3 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 “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 Roy was the #525 boys' name of 2025, a ready-made Roy tracing sheet like this one sees plenty of classroom use.

The letters of Roy, 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.
o — The same closed circle drawn half-size, sitting between the midline and 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.

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

Names as short as Roy are rare — of the 1,918 names on this site, only 60 are three letters or fewer. It is also one of the rarer picks on this site, sitting deeper in the 2025 boys' list yet still ahead of 451 of the 965 boys' names.

Roy was the #525 boys' name in the U.S. for 2025, per the Social Security Administration's public-domain baby-names data. Each sheet prints as a single page on US Letter or A4, carrying three-line handwriting guides with a fourth descender line underneath.

Tips for tracing Roy

The slants in “y” deserve their own warm-up row — once those land cleanly, the rest of Roy is familiar ground.
Before starting, trace the tail of “y” with a finger down to the lower guide line — Roy is a name that uses the line below the baseline.
Give Roy its height song: “tall, small, tail”. Chanting the sizes while tracing keeps tall letters tall and small letters small.
With a name as quick to trace as Roy, keep one line in reserve for a slow, careful showpiece attempt at the end.
Finish each session with one try writing Roy on blank paper — tracing builds the motor pattern, writing from memory locks it in.

Customization options

Font style

Choose dotted outlines while your child is still learning where each stroke goes, and switch to solid light-gray once tracing gets confident — writing over the full letterform is the bridge to copying. The first row always shows Roy solid and dark.

Letter size

Pick from three letter sizes. With 3 letters, Roy 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

Anywhere from 1 to 12 lines fits below the example row. A first session usually wants a few big lines; a daily practice sheet wants many smaller ones.
