Abstract
The methodology of writing instruction is determined by the nature of the script associated with a certain language. Since the Bulgarian Cyrillic alphabet is a sound-letter one and belongs to the phonographic type of the graphic systems, this means that the basic principle of the elementary stage of training should be a phonematic one, and emphasis should be put on drawing the graphic elements that make up the configuration of a letter. In the pre-letter and letter period in primary school, determining the dominant hand is of utmost importance as the child is about to master such a complex type of activity as writing. The main difficulty, character- istic of the left-handed children when learning to write, is that the Bulgarian Cyrillic script must be mastered on the basis of a sound-letter analysis, and the majority of the left-handed children form the complete images of the words in their minds and find it hard to carry out their syllable and letter analysis. It can be concluded that the greatest difficulty they encounter is mastering the Bulgarian language programme.
