What's included in the Soleil worksheet

Letters to trace: 6; Capital S + 5 lowercase
SSA popularity, 2025: #756; Girls' names, United States
Tracing difficulty: gentle; No diagonal strokes

Tracing Soleil is a gentle place to start — it spells out with 5 different letters over 6 positions, and they stay close to the plain lines and curves of early printing. 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 “l” reaches the top guide line — a common slip is stopping it at the height of the small letters instead. Because Soleil was the #756 girls' name of 2025, a ready-made Soleil tracing sheet like this one sees plenty of classroom use.

Stroke by stroke, the letters of Soleil:

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.
o — The same closed circle drawn half-size, sitting between the midline and the baseline.
l — One tall straight line from the top line down to the baseline. Soleil uses it twice.
e — A short bar across the middle, then curve up, over, and round like a c underneath it.
i — A short line from the midline down to the baseline, then a dot floated above it — body first, dot last.

The tall strokes in Soleil come from “S” and “l” — three of its 6 letters reach the top guide line. The rest are small letters with nothing hanging below the baseline — only the floating dot on “i” sits above the letter body.

Soleil 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 girls' list yet still ahead of 227 of the 953 girls' names.

Soleil was the #756 girls' 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 Soleil

Split Soleil down the middle: trace “Sol”, pause, then “eil” — two short chunks are easier to hold in mind than six letters at once.
Teach "body first, dot last" with “i” — finish the downstroke, lift, and only then place the dot.
Say the letter heights out loud as a chant while tracing — “tall, small, tall, small, small, tall” — the size pattern of Soleil sticks faster when it has words.
End every session the same way: one Soleil on blank paper, no guides — recall is what turns a traced pattern into a learned one.

Customization options

Font style

Dotted letters are the classic preschool tracing outline; solid light-gray letters are the next step, for writing directly over the full letterform. The example row of Soleil always prints in solid dark letters for reference.

Letter size

Small, medium, or large guide lines. Soleil fits at every size — start large for first attempts and step down as pencil control improves.

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.

How should my child handle the dotted letters in Soleil?

Soleil contains “i”, which is finished with a floating dot. Teach the sequence "body first, dot last": trace the stroke down, then lift the pencil and place the dot. None of the letters in Soleil drop below the baseline, so the dot is the only detail to remember.
