Miqyas Al Dhad Enters Strategic Partnership With Diglossia To

Advance Arabic Literacy Measurement

By Editor_wr On Oct 26, 2025

Miqyas Al Dhad, a pioneering Arabic reading scale, has entered into a strategic partnership with Diglossia, experts and

specialists in Arabic language assessment, to officially recognise Miqyas Al Dhad as the latter’s designated Arabic
reading scale. Further supporting this collaboration is MetaMetrics, the developer of the Lexile® Framework for

Reading, which underpins Miqyas Al Dhad. As part of the partnership, MetaMetrics will conduct a linking study to align
Diglossia’s assessment suite with the Miqyas Al Dhad scale to ensure the validity and precision of the measures.

As the driving force behind this partnership, Miqyas Al Dhad reaffirms its dedication to helping Arab Ministries of

Education tackle literacy challenges by offering a unified and scientifically grounded approach to measuring both
students’ proficiency and text complexity in Arabic.

By enabling educators, parents, and policymakers to align a student’s reading ability to the appropriate text difficulty,

Miqyas Al Dhad framework creates a strong ecosystem that ensures learners are presented with content which is
appropriate for their individual abilities. The platform can dynamically adjust reading materials to suit the requirements
of students, helping bridge reading gaps and fostering meaningful progress.

“This partnership reflects our shared vision to provide the Arab world with a powerful, research-based reading scale that

respects the unique linguistic characteristics of the Arabic language. By joining forces with Diglossia, we are extending
the reach of Miqyas Al Dhad to more students and creating a cooperative reading ecosystem that benefits educators,

families, and publishers alike.” Eyad Darawsheh, General Manager of Arabic Scale Educational Consultancy
LLC, stated.

According to the agreement, Diglossia will integrate the Miqyas Al Dhad reading scale into its digital literacy and

assessment platforms, providing educational institutions across the region with access to data-driven insights based on a
validated Arabic reading scale. This adoption represents an important milestone in aligning assessment tools with

culturally and linguistically relevant metrics.

Mimi Jett, Founder and CEO of Diglossia, said, “Diglossia is proud to support the international rollout of Miqyas Al
Dhad, which opens the door for a single scale standardizing reading levels in Arabic reading assessment. By aligning
our tools with this scale, beginning with TALA® and expanding throughout the portfolio, we can confidently offer

educators across the Arab world an integral framework to connect readers with appropriate content, provide personalised
guidance, and assess growth.”
