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
