The Arabic Teachers' Council in London and Southern England is proud to celebrate the outstanding winners of the Arabic Reading Competition 2025.
The reading competition attracted participation from 48 schools, with approximately 130 students applying to take part- an impressive testament to the growing interest in Arabic language and literature among young learners, as well as the supportive environment provided by teachers, schools and parents.
This year's competition showcased the dedication, talent, and passion of students and we are delighted to recognise those who distinguished themselves through their exceptional effort.
We also extend our heartfelt appreciation to all students who participated in the competition, and they are all winners in our eyes. Our guest author Dr Sonia Nimr and the judging panel were inspired by the enthusiasm and talent shown by all students!
Keep reading, keep dreaming, and keep embracing the beauty of Arabic language!
