Evelyn Name Tracing Worksheet (Free Printable PDF)

How to write Evelyn, letter by letter

Evelyn 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. E 4 strokes. 1. Start at the top line on the left and pull straight down to the bottom line. 2. Start at the top line on the left and slide across to the right along the top line. 3. Start in the middle on the left and slide across to the right. 4. Start on the bottom line on the left and slide across to the right along the bottom line.
2. v 2 strokes. 1. Start on the dashed middle line on the left and slant down to the right to the bottom line. 2. Start on the bottom line and slant up to the right to the dashed middle 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. y 2 strokes. 1. Start on the dashed middle line on the left and slant down to the right to the bottom line. 2. Start on the dashed middle line on the right, curve clockwise and stop below the bottom line.
6. n 2 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.

Tips for practising Evelyn

• Only the first letter, E, 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.
• y drops below the bottom line: the faint dotted line under each row shows how far.
• 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.
