Abstract
This article analyzes the cognitive foundations of the process of reading literary texts. The study considers reading as a complex cognitive activity occurring in the human mind, highlighting the interrelation of processes such as attention, memory, thinking, and interpretation. It also substantiates the role of cognitive strategies in developing students’ reading competence through literary texts.References
