Language learning in the institutions of the educational system is based on the encouragement and development of four basic language activities: listening, speaking, reading and writing. A child's communication from the earliest age is primarily expressed by listening, imitating, expressing through facial expressions through gestures and facial expressions until the later age of speaking, reading and asking questions. This paper will mostly talk about the activity of writing as a skill that needs to be learned. Writing develops from an early age, and follows certain stages of development that are individual for each child. In the development of writing, an important role is played by the educator, who should follow the child's interests and potentials in order to expand his knowledge and skills. In order for the child to learn as quickly and qualitatively as possible within the educational group, it is necessary to create a stimulating and creative environment, as well as to approach it in a motivating and inspiring way. One of the most important factors in the development of writing is the development of gross and fine motor skills, which contribute to the development of graphomotor skills, which is one of the main prerequisites for enrollment in the first grade of elementary school. The paper presents various activities that contribute to the development of fine motor skills and graphomotor skills, which can be carried out in the educational group, but also at home. The research part presents the research that was carried out through the graphomotor readiness test. The sample consists of 22 children of preschool age who attended a regular educational program. The goal was to investigate the development of graphomotor skills in children aged six to seven, before entering the first grade of elementary school.
