A device for developing reading speed and comprehension comprising a variable speed pacing member which traverses a page of reading material from the top to the bottom thereof in a series of predetermined steps or hesitations. The pacing member includes a plurality of cam-actuated spacing shutters which, when viewed from above, sequentially expose laterally adjacent areas of the underlying reading material so that during each hesitation, or step, of the pacing member, the reader sees first one area of the reading material, while the like area adjacent thereto is blocked from view; and then, in sequence, sees the laterally adjacent area while the preceding area is blocked from view. The pacing shutter may be adjusted to vary the size of the area of reading material exposed thereby according to the nature of the reading material and the state of the trainee's development.
