- Lift the pencil after the S, then write the a (downcurve, undercurve, slant, undercurve): a small oval closed at the midline, then a slant down and an undercurve out.
- Swing up into the r (undercurve, slide right, slant, undercurve): an undercurve, a short slide to the right at the midline, then a slant down.
- Swing up into the a (downcurve, undercurve, slant, undercurve): a small oval closed at the midline, then a slant down and an undercurve out.
- Swing up into the h (undercurve, loop, slant, overcurve, slant, undercurve): a tall loop followed by a hump, like an l and an n joined together.

Sarah questions
How many strokes does it take to write Sarah in cursive?
2 strokes: 2 continuous runs of letters, because a capital that stands alone forces a pencil lift. Inside a word the pencil stays on the paper; dots and crosses are added once the word is finished.
Are all the letters in Sarah connected?
Yes. Every join in "Sarah" is a baseline join: each letter ends with an upward exit stroke on the baseline and the next letter starts from it. There are no bridge letters (b, o, v, w) in this word.
Is Sarah capitalized in cursive?
Yes. Sarah is a name, so it always starts with a capital S. The capital S stands alone: lift the pencil after it.
What is the hardest letter in Sarah?
The s and the r. Cursive s is the most searched letter for a reason: it looks nothing like print. Write it as an upstroke with a little belly, not as a snake. r is the letter most adults get wrong. The slide right is tiny: think of a small step, not a hump.
