“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.

This collaboration builds the groundwork for a future in which Arabic learners are
empowered through accurate, easily accessible, and culturally appropriate reading
materials, thereby fulfilling the promise of universal literacy.
