What's included in the Taytum worksheet

Letters to trace: 6; Capital T + 5 lowercase
SSA popularity, 2025: #732; Girls' names, United States
Tracing difficulty: steady; Diagonal strokes in y

Tracing Taytum 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 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 “T” — straight strokes only, which makes it a forgiving first letter to land. Because Taytum was the #732 girls' name of 2025, a ready-made Taytum tracing sheet like this one sees plenty of classroom use.

How each letter in Taytum is formed:

T — A big line straight down, then a bar across the very top. Both forms are a crossed line, but the capital wears its bar on top while the small t is crossed lower down, at the midline — swapping the two is a very common early mix-up.
a — Curve round like a c, close the circle, then a short line down its right side.
y — A short slant down to the baseline, met by a longer slant that keeps going below the line to hang its tail.
t — A tallish line down that curves gently at the bottom, crossed with a short bar at the midline rather than the top.
u — A short line down, curve along the bottom, back up — then a small line down the right side to finish.
m — A short line down, then up and over one hump, and up and over a second hump — two humps, evenly sized.

The tall strokes in Taytum come from “T” and “t” — two of its 6 letters reach the top guide line. One letter hangs a tail beneath the baseline, so the sheet's lower guide line sees real use on this name.

Taytum 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 252 of the 953 girls' names.

Taytum was the #732 girls' 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 Taytum

Warm up on the slanted strokes in “y” before the full name — diagonals are the lines young writers master last, and five lone tries first make the whole of Taytum feel easier.
Split Taytum down the middle: trace “Tay”, pause, then “tum” — two short chunks are easier to hold in mind than six letters at once.
Point out that “y” in Taytum dips below the baseline — the lower guide line on this sheet shows exactly how far the tail should go.
Call out “tall, small, tail, tall, small, small” as the pencil moves — naming each letter's height is the quickest fix for uneven sizing in Taytum.
Finish each session with one try writing Taytum 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 Taytum in solid dark letters for reference.

Letter size

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

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.
