Start on the first fret with your index finger on the E chord then (on the same chord) hit the second fret with your middle, third fret with your ringfinger, and fourth with your pinky. Jump to the next string and do the exact same thing till you get to the end, then slide down the same last string and begin again only working your way back towards the E chord.
That is an excellent way to develop finger/pick skills, perhaps the best way. As you do it, you'll get faster and more accurate. Once you feel confident with that, you can also do your scales in the same fashion.
Incidentally, I play with the pick between index and thumb.
