This study seeks to investigate the impact of symmetrical (S) scaffolding on advance students' reading comprehension. Twenty advance Iranian learners participated in this study. The participants were both male and female students with an average age of 21. They were taught by symmetrical scaffolding. Before administering a Pre-test was administered to them. At the end of the study, a Post-test was administered, and its results were analyzed through t-test. The results indicated that S scaffolding has significant effect on learners' performance in reading comprehension.
