This aricle presents methodological ideas for the formation, upgrading and improvement of literary competences in primary school age (4th grade) through contemporary literature for children. The constructed system of methodological ideas, including various activities and tasks that build the model, is approbated in a real school environment (of students in 4th grade in the Bourgas school „Dimcho Debelyanov“).This system is consistent with the age specifics of primary school students, with the various methodological aspects of the education at the initial stage of education, as well as with the means, methods and techniques of contemporary literature for children and their application in the specific methodological ideas contained in the model. These ideas can be used to improve the skills of adolescents for their better performance in the context of training not only in Bulgarian language and literature but also in other school subjects.
