After declaring a champion or heroine for the Arab Reading Challenge and being crowned or crowned on the platform of the huge closing ceremony organized by the organizers of the initiative and bringing together cultural and literary figures, experts in education and the knowledge society from all over the world in Dubai, a state of sweeping positive public interaction between Arab followers and on websites Social media, in TV rooms, radio studios, and podcast channels, praises the qualities, skills, eloquence, and intellect of the Challenge Champions, and celebrates them as ambassadors for the book, the word, the letter, and the culture of reading.

With the brilliant presence of the Challenge Stars, it creates an incentive for their peers to read and a reason for the public in the Arab world in general to be proud of their heroes and celebrate again in their Arabic language.

And after a lot of research and more questions, it can be said that the path of the Arab Reading Challenge Championship is paved with six main skills:

This is achieved by selecting books that are appropriate for the age group and grade level in which the student falls. An 8-year-old student is not required to read Shakespeare or Naguib Mahfouz.

Within the item of choosing the appropriate books, the student must read carefully selected books that advance thought and knowledge, and this is what the supervisors help in challenging the Arab reading by suggesting to the participants valuable and influential books on the path of humanity.

The hero’s choices of books make him distinguished in the eyes of the jury at the level of his school, then his educational district, his country, and the Arab world.

A large part of the student's assessment of the Arab Reading Challenge is related to his creative and critical understanding of what he has read.

This is necessarily related to his understanding of the content of the materials he read and his ability to link events together.

The jury’s questions abound in the Arab Reading Challenge about the possibilities of improving the content of read books.

Not only that, but the committee asks about a positive suggestion for the student that could develop the structure of the novel or intensify the output of a book.

For example, the committee may ask the student to suggest another solution to the plot in a particular novel that he read to assess his ability to soar with his imagination and thought and create a dramatic solution that serves the idea for which the novel was written.

This is part of the creative concept in the Arab Reading Challenge, which motivates the participating student to have an idea that enables him to suggest meaningful changes to a book he has read during his participation in the challenge.

The Arab Reading Challenge judging committees look to students with strong personalities who are able to deal well with situations, whatever they may be.

To achieve this, the committee members ask about detailed information in the book and follow up with the student the course of events in the book and list the topics discussed in the book in a logical sequence.

In addition, the student needs to have a strong intuition that will enable him to convince the jury of a certain idea that he extracted from a book he read and summarized in his career in the competition.

The body language of the Arab Reading Challenge judging committees has many meanings, enabling them to know the extent of the student’s confidence in himself and his information that he summarized and discussed with the committee.

To be the champion of the Arab Reading Challenge, you must control your body's emotions and your facial expressions in front of the committee that have meanings that indicate either your confusion or confidence in speaking.

This gives several indications of the cultural and cognitive mastery that the student possesses.

Body language is also important in the closing ceremony of the Arab Reading Challenge, where the first five are asked one question for each of them, whose answer is improvised on the stage.

Adherence to the rules of the Standard Arabic language is one of the most important things that the participant in the Arab Reading Challenge must take into consideration.

The judging committees at all levels focus on the sound Arabic language in terms of correct formation during speech, and the interrelationship between vocabulary, in addition to the good use of rhetorical images during speech.

For example, after the closing ceremony of the 2018 Arab Reading Challenge, the phrase "Hospital of Minds", which she said at the closing ceremony, the hero of the challenge in that session, Maryam Amjoun, became famous.

The accuracy of the language and the strength of the imagery in this phrase made Maryam the champion of the challenge in its third season.

This demonstrates the importance of accurate language and proper expression of events and ideas.

The way of summarizing the books read in the passports, which characterizes the Arab Reading Challenge competition, gives an important impression to the jury.

The champion of the Arab Reading Challenge must present his summaries in an aesthetic way for the eye and the mind in terms of coordinating writing, calligraphy and ideas, in addition to using complete sentences that give a comprehensive idea of ​​the entire book in lines.

This task requires a great effort on the part of the student. He has to write in a way that “reduces and condenses” or “intensifies ideas” to convey all the messages that the book wanted to convey on one page of the passport.
