and help tackle prevalent challenges in reading and comprehension of Arabic. Dr. Al Yammahi further emphasized the
significant development made by Miqyas Al Dhad in promoting literacy across the Arab world, becoming a part of a
wider ecosystem aligned with national education strategies and initiatives across the Arab world.
