Abstract
Graphomotor skills (handwriting) are obviously required for full participation in school activities since students spend up to half of their classroom time engaged in paper and pencil tasks daily. The objective of the presented paper is to quantify the prevalence of graphomotor problems of early adolescent pupils, based on their graphomotor skills coding during the primary school attendance. The research was designed as a quantitative cross-sectional study. As the basic research method was used, the assessment scale and the assessment record sheet. The research sample included pupils in the early adolescence period, namely, ninth grade pupils (14–16 years old), sample group size n = 22. The results of the research showed that the problem with the visual–motor memory prevails in the sample group of pupils. This problem can be solved, for example, by presenting relevant models to pupils, who are diagnosed with a graphomotor disorder.
