To train students having problems in reading to move the eyes from left to right of an entire line of reading matter and then to move the eyes from the right end of one line to the left end of the next line, a mechanical teaching device is provided. The front face of the device has vertically spaced apart parallel (horizontal) holders into which cards displaying reading material may be inserted. Below each holder is a slot parallel to the holder, and the right end of the top slot is connected by a diagonal slot to the left end of a slot below the next holder, each parallel slot being connected to the next lowermost by a diagonal slot. A pointer is inserted in a hole at the left end or beginning of the top slot and may be removed only from the right end or finish of the bottom slot. Springs may be positioned at intervals in the slots to prevent the pointer from moving backward and assuring that the reader's eyes follow through in proper reading procedure from beginning to end.
