What's included in the Shimon worksheet

Letters to trace: 6; Capital S + 5 lowercase
SSA popularity, 2025: #960; Boys' names, United States
Tracing difficulty: steady; No diagonal strokes

Tracing Shimon is a step up from the basics — all 6 of its letters are different, and a handful of them ask for a steadier pencil than plain lines do. Remind your child to finish “i” with the dot — dots and crosses are added last, after the letter body. It starts with a capital “S”, one rounded stroke: begin at the top and keep the curve moving rather than lifting partway. The tall letter “h” reaches the top guide line — a common slip is stopping it at the height of the small letters instead. Because Shimon was the #960 boys' name of 2025, a ready-made Shimon tracing sheet like this one sees plenty of classroom use.

Forming the letters of Shimon, one at a time:

S — One snaking curve: start near the top right, swing up and over to the left, cut back through the middle, and finish curling to the left at the bottom.
h — A tall line down, then trace back up halfway and over the hump to the baseline.
i — A short line from the midline down to the baseline, then a dot floated above it — body first, dot last.
m — A short line down, then up and over one hump, and up and over a second hump — two humps, evenly sized.
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.

Two of Shimon's 6 letters stand full height on the guides — “S” and “h”. The rest are small letters with nothing hanging below the baseline — only the floating dot on “i” sits above the letter body.

Shimon runs six letters, the single most common name length on this site (562 of the 1,918 names). It is also one of the rarer picks on this site, sitting deeper in the 2025 boys' list yet still ahead of 34 of the 965 boys' names.

Shimon was the #960 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 Shimon

Chunk it as “Shi” + “mon”: a short pause in the middle of Shimon keeps attention fresh through all six letters.
The dot on “i” comes at the very end of Shimon: trace every letter body, then go back and dot.
Give Shimon its height song: “tall, tall, small, small, small, small”. Chanting the sizes while tracing keeps tall letters tall and small letters small.
End every session the same way: one Shimon on blank paper, no guides — recall is what turns a traced pattern into a learned one.

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 Shimon in solid dark letters for reference.

Letter size

Pick from three letter sizes. With 6 letters, Shimon 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

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