Miles Name Tracing Worksheet (Free Printable PDF)

How to write Miles, letter by letter

Miles has 5 letters and 9 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. M 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 slant down to the right to the bottom line. 3. Start on the bottom line and slant up to the right to the top line. 4. Start at the top line on the right and pull straight down to the bottom line.
2. i 2 strokes. 1. Start on the dashed middle line and pull straight down to the bottom line. 2. Add the dot.
3. l 1 stroke. Start at the top line and pull straight down to the bottom line.
4. e 1 stroke. Start just under the middle line on the left and go all the way round counterclockwise.
5. s 1 stroke. Start just under the middle line on the right and slant down to the left to just above the bottom line.

Tips for practising Miles

• Only the first letter, M, 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.
• 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.
