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.”

A linking study will also be carried out by MetaMetrics, the global authority behind the Lexile Framework for
Reading, to ensure that Miqyas Al Dhad is firmly rooted in globally recognised standards, while remaining

consistent with the morphological and syntactic structures of Arabic. As part of its broader vision, Miqyas Al
Dhad is also working with publishers across the Arab world to develop an extensive library of levelled Arabic

texts, enabling readers to discover, study, and engage with books based on the Miqyas Al Dhad scale.
