What's included in the Valery worksheet

Letters to trace: 6; Capital V + 5 lowercase
SSA popularity, 2025: #743; Girls' names, United States
Tracing difficulty: challenging; Diagonal strokes in V, y

Expect Valery to take more passes than most: from the capital “V” onward, its 6 letters include several shapes that sit at the harder end of what children print. The diagonal strokes in “V” and “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 tall letter “l” reaches the top guide line — a common slip is stopping it at the height of the small letters instead. Because Valery was the #743 girls' name of 2025, a ready-made Valery tracing sheet like this one sees plenty of classroom use.

How each letter in Valery 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.
r — A short line down, then trace back up and add a little curved arm over to the right — and stop there.
y — A short slant down to the baseline, met by a longer slant that keeps going below the line to hang its tail.

The tall strokes in Valery come from “V” and “l” — 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.

Valery 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 240 of the 953 girls' names.

Valery was the #743 girls' name in the U.S. for 2025, per the Social Security Administration's public-domain baby-names data. The worksheet itself is one page — US Letter, A4-friendly — ruled with classic three-line handwriting guides plus a descender line below.

Tips for tracing Valery

Warm up on the slanted strokes in “V” and “y” before the full name — diagonals are the lines young writers master last, and five lone tries first make the whole of Valery feel easier.
Split Valery down the middle: trace “Val”, pause, then “ery” — two short chunks are easier to hold in mind than six letters at once.
Point out that “y” in Valery dips below the baseline — the lower guide line on this sheet shows exactly how far the tail should go.
Give Valery its height song: “tall, small, tall, small, small, tail”. Chanting the sizes while tracing keeps tall letters tall and small letters small.
Finish each session with one try writing Valery on blank paper — tracing builds the motor pattern, writing from memory locks it in.

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 Valery always prints in solid dark letters for reference.

Letter size

Pick from three letter sizes. With 6 letters, Valery 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

Set 1 to 12 practice lines below the example row. Fewer, larger lines for beginners; more, smaller lines for daily practice sheets.
