This study enlisted the participation of 22 youngsters (11 boys and 11 girls) aged 5 to 6 years old from a selected kindergarten.

The performance of the BOTMP -2 Fine Motor Precision Test items and the performance of each character on the Jawi Writing Skills Test had a moderate correlation (r value ranging from 0.318 to -.622).
