- BY CHRISTIAN BORBON Senior Web Editor

The final round of the Community Champion category of the 9th Arab Reading Challenge began yesterday in Dubai, spotlighting students' ability to articulate ideas from their extensive reading.

The overall Arab Reading Champion will be announced during the concluding ceremony tomorrow at Dubai World Trade Centre.

Students competing in the Community Champion category advanced through multiple rounds of the ninth edition. In the final round, participants face an oral assessment where they present key ideas and insights from 25 books they have read.

Judges evaluate their reading comprehension, critical thinking, analytical skills, and ability to articulate ideas confidently in eloquent Arabic. The Community Champion category, launched in the third edition, allows participation from students outside the Arab world, including learners of Arabic and nonnative speakers.
