The article examines the criteria for selecting academic and professionally oriented texts aimed at developing reading competence among philology students. It argues that text selection should be based not only on topic relevance, but also on language level, linguistic complexity, terminological density, professional value, communicative potential, and suitability for digital learning environments. The paper emphasizes that a carefully selected text functions as a key didactic resource for developing linguistic, cognitive, strategic, and professional reading skills.
