What's included in the Thaddeus worksheet

Letters to trace: 8; Capital T + 7 lowercase
SSA popularity, 2025: #797; Boys' names, United States
Tracing difficulty: steady; No diagonal strokes

There is real practice in Thaddeus without it being daunting: it spells out with 7 different letters over 8 positions, mixing familiar shapes with one or two that reward a second pass. The double “d” 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. The tall letters “h” and “d” reach the top guide line — a common slip is stopping them at the height of the small letters instead. Because Thaddeus was the #797 boys' name of 2025, a ready-made Thaddeus tracing sheet like this one sees plenty of classroom use.

Forming the letters of Thaddeus, one at a time:

T — A big line straight down, then a bar across the very top.
h — A tall line down, then trace back up halfway and over the hump to the baseline.
a — Curve round like a c, close the circle, then a short line down its right side.
d — Curve round like a c first, then a tall line up on its right side and straight back down. Thaddeus uses it twice.
e — A short bar across the middle, then curve up, over, and round like a c underneath it.
u — A short line down, curve along the bottom, back up — then a small line down the right side to finish.
s — The same snake drawn half-size between the midline and the baseline.

Watch the skyline of Thaddeus: “T”, “h” and “d” reach the top guide line, four tall letters out of 8. The rest stay between the midline and the baseline with nothing hanging below, which gives a finished row of Thaddeus an even, tidy silhouette.

Thaddeus is one of the long ones: just 206 of the 1,918 names on this site run eight letters or more. It is also one of the rarer picks on this site, sitting deeper in the 2025 boys' list yet still ahead of 192 of the 965 boys' names.

Thaddeus was the #797 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 Thaddeus

Thaddeus is 8 letters, so split early sessions in half: trace the first 4 letters one day and the rest the next, then put the whole name together.
Use the double “d” to build rhythm — say the letter aloud twice while tracing the pair.
Give Thaddeus its height song: “tall, tall, small, tall, tall, small, small, small”. Chanting the sizes while tracing keeps tall letters tall and small letters small.
Close with a single unguided Thaddeus on scrap paper. Tracing teaches the movement; writing it from memory makes it stick.

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 Thaddeus always prints in solid dark letters for reference.

Letter size

Pick from three letter sizes. A longer name like Thaddeus keeps all 8 letters on one line at medium or small; on large, use the lines for a few letters at a time instead.

Number of practice lines

You choose how many rows of Thaddeus 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.
