his research was done to investigate the effectiveness of training cognitive and metacognitive strategies on reading comprehension of second grade Guidance school boys in district 11 Education in Tehran city. Three schools and from each, one class was selected by random sampling and were assigned into two groups. That is, experimental and control groups.A researcher-made reading comprehension test was prepared and used for pre and post test. For two experimental groups, strategies training were applied for eight sessions in 45 to 60 minutes. The hypothesis was tested by one-way ANOVA and Tokay’s method. The results showed that there is a difference between the mean of additional scores experimental groups and control group’s mean in =./.1 and mean of additional score of metacognitive strategies group was obtained greater than cognitive strategies group that the difference was significant in = ./.5. Accordingly, it can be suggested that teachers need to introduce cognitive and metacognitive strategies during of their teaching courses.
