Lainey Name Tracing Worksheet (Free Printable PDF)

How to write Lainey, letter by letter

Lainey has 6 letters and 11 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. L 2 strokes. 1. Start at the top line on the left and pull straight down to the bottom line. 2. Start on the bottom line on the left and slide across to the right along the bottom line.
2. 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.
3. i 2 strokes. 1. Start on the dashed middle line and pull straight down to the bottom line. 2. Add the dot.
4. 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.
5. e 1 stroke. Start just under the middle line on the left and go all the way round counterclockwise.
6. 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.

Tips for practising Lainey

• Only the first letter, L, is a capital: it starts at the top line. The rest are lowercase.
• y drops below the bottom line: the faint dotted line under each row shows how far.
• 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.
