Readanah & the National Education Charter
Readanah is a reading platform. Alongside reading practice, some texts and features give students a chance to think about how what they read connects to life in the UAE. The Charter is one lens for that thinking. Reading practice always comes first.

What Readanah does and does not do
- It offers reading texts, questions and short optional prompts that connect to a Charter attribute where the passage supports it.
- It does not grade, rank or judge any student's character, faith, loyalty, wellbeing or family. Prompts are never scored and are not saved.
- Marks, pearls, certificates and reading levels are not affected by any Charter prompt.
- It does not claim approval by the Ministry of Education or full alignment with the Charter. It is one teacher's original design for classroom reading.
- Teachers can switch the prompts off for a class, and they never appear in reading checks or exam practice.
Where to see it
Some texts show one or two short labels under the lesson details. After the questions, an optional Connect to life card may appear. Teachers can find Charter connections in their console. Read about privacy.
