Readability of visual units is not only identification of single letters.The success in reading of a text is result of the interaction between different factors.A one of the most important being phonological structure of sequence. The research is done on the sample of 395 primary schoolchildren, divided in to three age groups. There are no differences in success of reading of Cyrillic and Latin text for most of the variables which measured success in reading. The readers who don’t have greater difficulties in reading, use Cyrillic equally well as and Latin alphabet. Moreover, greater practice in uses of one alphabet is not a deciding factor. Differences in uses of one alphabet or the other are notified with inferior readers and are more emphatic in the beginning phases of the development of the reading and writing skill
