What's included in the Tommy worksheet

Letters to trace: 5; Capital T + 4 lowercase
SSA popularity, 2025: #657; Boys' names, United States
Tracing difficulty: steady; Diagonal strokes in y

Tracing Tommy is a step up from the basics — it spells out with 4 different letters over 5 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. The double “m” is a nice rhythm builder: tracing the same letter twice in a row helps the shape stick. Because Tommy was the #657 boys' name of 2025, a ready-made Tommy tracing sheet like this one sees plenty of classroom use.

How each letter in Tommy is formed:

T — A big line straight down, then a bar across the very top.
o — The same closed circle drawn half-size, sitting between the midline and the baseline.
m — A short line down, then up and over one hump, and up and over a second hump — two humps, evenly sized. Tommy uses it twice.
y — A short slant down to the baseline, met by a longer slant that keeps going below the line to hang its tail.

Only the capital T reaches the top guide line in Tommy — every other letter keeps a low profile. One letter hangs a tail beneath the baseline, so the sheet's lower guide line sees real use on this name.

Tommy runs five letters, a length it shares with 502 of the 1,918 names on this site. It is also one of the rarer picks on this site, sitting deeper in the 2025 boys' list yet still ahead of 322 of the 965 boys' names.

Tommy was the #657 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 Tommy

The slants in “y” deserve their own warm-up row — once those land cleanly, the rest of Tommy is familiar ground.
Chunk it as “Tom” + “my”: a short pause in the middle of Tommy keeps attention fresh through all five letters.
Point out that “y” in Tommy dips below the baseline — the lower guide line on this sheet shows exactly how far the tail should go.
Treat the repeated “m” as a bonus rep — tracing the same letter twice in a row is how a shape stops needing thought.
Call out “tall, small, small, small, tail” as the pencil moves — naming each letter's height is the quickest fix for uneven sizing in Tommy.
End every session the same way: one Tommy 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 Tommy always prints in solid dark letters for reference.

Letter size

Pick from three letter sizes. With 5 letters, Tommy 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

The sheet holds 1 to 12 practice lines under the example row. Start low — three or four lines is plenty for a first session — and add more as sessions get longer.
