Amelia Name Tracing Worksheet (Free Printable PDF)

How to write Amelia, letter by letter

Amelia has 6 letters and 12 strokes in all. On the worksheet each stroke starts at a green dot, and the first copy of the name numbers the strokes in this order:

1. A 3 strokes. 1. Start at the top line and slant down to the left to the bottom line. 2. Start at the top line and slant down to the right to the bottom line. 3. Start below the middle on the left and slide across to the right.
2. m 3 strokes. 1. Start on the dashed middle line on the left and pull straight down to the bottom line. 2. Start just under the middle line on the left, curve clockwise and stop on the bottom line. 3. Start just under the middle line, curve clockwise and stop on the bottom line.
3. e 1 stroke. Start just under the middle line on the left and go all the way round counterclockwise.
4. l 1 stroke. Start at the top line and pull straight down to the bottom line.
5. i 2 strokes. 1. Start on the dashed middle line and pull straight down to the bottom line. 2. Add the dot.
6. a 2 strokes. 1. Start just under the middle line on the right, curve counterclockwise and stop just above the bottom line. 2. Start on the dashed middle line on the right and pull straight down to the bottom line.

Tips for practising Amelia

• Only the first letter, A, is a capital: it starts at the top line. The rest are lowercase.
• The tall letter l reaches up to the top line, like the capital.
• a starts with the same round movement as c: begin near the top and go counterclockwise.
• The dot on i or j comes last, after the line.
• For the very first tries, print the trace and fade page: the letters get lighter row by row until only the start dots are left.
