The research method was experimental, in the framework of a quasi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test with control group .the statistical population of research included all 8 grade female students in Tehran during the academic year of 2019-2020.The sample of the present study was selected from one of the middle schools of Tehran’s 2nd district and was selected.The sample subjects were students in one of the 8 grade classes at this middle school.Block and Reynolds Moral Identity Questionnaire (2016) was used to collect data.All subjects first responded to the moral identity questionnaire. Then, they were randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups.The experimental group(32 people) was trained for ten 70-minute sessions.During this time, the control group received no training.At the end, both groups responded to the moral identity questionnaire.Data analysis was done at two descriptive and inferential levels (multivariate covariance analysis). The findings of the research show the average difference between the experimental group and the control group in the level of moral self and moral integrity. The result indicates that the model of critical reading can be effective in the development of both dimensions of moral identity of adolescents due to providing the cognitive opportunity to analyze and review the assumptions, evidence and results in the text
