What's included in the Valerie worksheet

Letters to trace: 7; Capital V + 6 lowercase
SSA popularity, 2025: #127; Girls' names, United States
Tracing difficulty: steady; Diagonal strokes in V

Tracing Valerie is a step up from the basics — it spells out with 6 different letters over 7 positions, and a handful of them ask for a steadier pencil than plain lines do. The diagonal strokes in “V” are the trickiest part — slanted lines are usually the last strokes young writers control, so expect extra passes there. Remind your child to finish “i” with the dot — dots and crosses are added last, after the letter body. The tall letter “l” reaches the top guide line — a common slip is stopping it at the height of the small letters instead. Because Valerie was the #127 girls' name of 2025, a ready-made Valerie tracing sheet like this one sees plenty of classroom use.

How each letter in Valerie is formed:

V — Two slanted lines: one slants down to a point on the baseline, the other slants straight back up.
a — Curve round like a c, close the circle, then a short line down its right side.
l — One tall straight line from the top line down to the baseline.
e — A short bar across the middle, then curve up, over, and round like a c underneath it. Valerie uses it twice.
r — A short line down, then trace back up and add a little curved arm over to the right — and stop there.
i — A short line from the midline down to the baseline, then a dot floated above it — body first, dot last.

Watch the skyline of Valerie: “V” and “l” reach the top guide line, two tall letters out of 7. The rest are small letters with nothing hanging below the baseline — only the floating dot on “i” sits above the letter body.

At seven letters, Valerie is on the long side — only 206 of the 1,918 names here run longer. Popularity-wise it lands in the broad middle of the 2025 girls' list, still ahead of 827 of the 953 girls' names here.

Valerie was the #127 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 Valerie

The slants in “V” deserve their own warm-up row — once those land cleanly, the rest of Valerie is familiar ground.
At 7 letters, Valerie is a lot to take in one pass — cover the first 4 letters in one session and the remainder in the next before joining them up.
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, small, small” — the size pattern of Valerie sticks faster when it has words.
Finish each session with one try writing Valerie on blank paper — tracing builds the motor pattern, writing from memory locks it in.

Customization options

Font style

Choose dotted outlines while your child is still learning where each stroke goes, and switch to solid light-gray once tracing gets confident — writing over the full letterform is the bridge to copying. The first row always shows Valerie solid and dark.

Letter size

Small, medium, or large guide lines. Because Valerie runs 7 letters, medium or small keeps the whole name on each line; use large for single-letter warm-ups.

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.
