How to write it, step by step
- Write capital S, then lift your pencil: in school cursive, S does not join the next letter.
- Join the rest of the letters without lifting your pencil: a, t, u, r, d, a and y.
- Let the y drop below the baseline and loop back up through it.
- When the word is finished, go back to cross the t.

Tips for each letter
- S
- Writing it like a print S. Cursive S starts with an undercurve from the baseline.
- a
- Leaving the top open, so a looks like u. Close the circle before you slant down.
- t
- Making t as tall as l, or adding a loop. Cursive t is shorter than the tall letters and has no loop.
- u
- Rounding the bottom points into a w. Cursive u has two points at the top, not three.
- r
- Rounding the top so r looks like an i or an n. The small flat step at the top is what makes the r.
- d
- Making a loop on the tall stick. Cursive d goes up and back down on the same line, with no loop.
- y
- Leaving the loop open below the line. Bring the tail back up so it crosses at the baseline.
