In recent years, stronger literacy development has emerged as a critically important issue in Arabi
speaking nations. Results of international assessments indicate that most of the participating Arab
countries are near the bottom of achievement levels. Additionally, recent studies indicate the
prevalence rate of reading disability ranges from between5 18%, which means that
approximately one in six students may be at risk for poor reading outcomes. A necessary first step
toward improving instructional programming that increases reading achievement is the
development of standardized assessments that:1) align with the construct of reading, 2) inform
instructional planning, and 3) identify students potentially at-risk for poor reading outcomes. This
manuscript presents the theoretical framework and a synthesis of the research that is guiding the
development of the Test of Early Arabic Literacy Skills (TEALS), the first standardized measure
of early literacy skills for students in grades 1 through 3. The TEALS will assess student reading
ability across four areas: 1) word reading, 2) phonological processing, 3) orthographic processing,
and 4) morphological processing. There are currently no standardized measures of Arabic reading
available, and this constrains our ability to better understand reading development, and to improve
reading instruction.
