What's included in the Tanner worksheet

Letters to trace: 6; Capital T + 5 lowercase
SSA popularity, 2025: #475; Boys' names, United States
Tracing difficulty: steady; No diagonal strokes

Tracing Tanner is a step up from the basics — it spells out with 5 different letters over 6 positions, and a handful of them ask for a steadier pencil than plain lines do. The double “n” is a nice rhythm builder: tracing the same letter twice in a row helps the shape stick. It starts with a capital “T” — straight strokes only, which makes it a forgiving first letter to land. Because Tanner was the #475 boys' name of 2025, a ready-made Tanner tracing sheet like this one sees plenty of classroom use.

Stroke by stroke, the letters of Tanner:

T — A big line straight down, then a bar across the very top.
a — Curve round like a c, close the circle, then a short line down its right side.
n — A short line down, then back up and over a single hump to the baseline. Tanner uses it twice.
e — A short bar across the middle, then curve up, over, and round like a c underneath it.
r — A short line down, then trace back up and add a little curved arm over to the right — and stop there.

Tanner is a one-tall-letter name: the capital T owns the top guide line, and the rest of the word sits low. The rest stay between the midline and the baseline with nothing hanging below, which gives a finished row of Tanner an even, tidy silhouette.

Tanner runs six letters, the single most common name length on this site (562 of the 1,918 names). Popularity-wise it lands in the broad middle of the 2025 boys' list, still ahead of 501 of the 965 boys' names here.

Tanner was the #475 boys' name in the U.S. for 2025, per the Social Security Administration's public-domain baby-names data. Every worksheet is a single US Letter page (prints on A4 too) with three-line handwriting guides and a descender line.

Tips for tracing Tanner

Chunk it as “Tan” + “ner”: a short pause in the middle of Tanner keeps attention fresh through all six letters.
Use the double “n” to build rhythm — say the letter aloud twice while tracing the pair.
Call out “tall, small, small, small, small, small” as the pencil moves — naming each letter's height is the quickest fix for uneven sizing in Tanner.
End every session the same way: one Tanner 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 Tanner in solid dark letters for reference.

Letter size

Three guide-line heights. Bigger lines mean fewer repetitions per page but easier control, and Tanner fits comfortably at all three — most families begin large and shrink from there.

Number of practice lines

You choose how many rows of Tanner print: 1 to 12 under the example row. New tracers do better with fewer, larger lines; confident ones can fill a full twelve-line page.
