How to write Saturday in cursive
- Start with a capital S (undercurve, loop, double curve, curve up, curve right). Start at the baseline. Make an undercurve up to the topline and a loop back to the left.
- 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 t (undercurve, slant, undercurve; cross): a tall retraced undercurve and slant, shorter than the l, crossed after the word is written.
- Swing up into the u (undercurve, slant, undercurve, slant, undercurve): two undercurves side by side, the opposite motion of the n.
- 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 d (downcurve, undercurve, slant, undercurve): the same oval as a, then an undercurve up to the topline and a slant back 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 y (overcurve, slant, undercurve, slant, loop, overcurve): an overcurve, a slant, an undercurve and a second slant that drops below the baseline into a loop.
- After the word, cross the t.

Saturday questions
How many strokes does it take to write Saturday in cursive?
3 strokes: 2 continuous runs of letters, because a capital that stands alone forces a pencil lift, then cross the t. Inside a word the pencil stays on the paper; dots and crosses are added once the word is finished.
Are all the letters in Saturday connected?
Yes. Every join in "Saturday" 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 Saturday capitalized in cursive?
Yes. "Saturday" is a proper noun and takes a capital letter wherever it appears.
What is the hardest letter in Saturday?
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.
