1 stroke: one continuous stroke for the letters. Inside a word the pencil stays on the paper; dots and crosses are added once the word is finished.
Are all the letters in Zachary connected?
Yes. Every join in "Zachary" 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 Zachary capitalized in cursive?
Yes. Zachary is a name, so it always starts with a capital Z. The capital Z joins the next letter.

The z and the r. Cursive z surprises everyone. Learn the y first, then add the little point on the baseline. r is the letter most adults get wrong. The slide right is tiny: think of a small step, not a hump.
