Literacy in the narrow sense means the ability to write and read. It is one of the most important competences that a person acquires because it represents the foundation for further knowledge acquisition and the development of many other important skills. It is important to focus on the development of literacy at the earliest age of a child's life. Although the role of the kindergarten is not to -literate- the children, the kindergarten still has an important role in encouraging this process. Early literacy encompasses much more than knowing and using standard signs, such as letters and numbers. In preschool age, it manifests itself as a multitude of symbolic presentations by children in order to record their own messages, different experiences and ideas. Children do all this through play. The dance of writing is like art and offers countless opportunities and different movements for expression. The writing dance is a method of initial writing that focuses on movement rather than product; to the process, not the final form. It is inseparable from rhythm and music, songs and games. It is of primary importance that children create movement from their own emotions while feeling happy and comfortable in their bodies. The paper first talks about early literacy, then the importance of encouraging literacy in children from an early age, as well as the ways in which literacy is encouraged and developed. After that, the Dance of Writing is presented in more detail as a method of initial writing and its impact on the development of early literacy.
