ABSTRACT:
A machine for pacing reading speed to improve same comprises a housing (10) having a top edge which contains a row of lamps (14). The edge is placed under a line of print and the lamps are caused to be illuminated in sequence from left to right to guide and pace the reader's eye. In a manual version (FIG. 1) the lamps are illuminated by repetitively moving a slide switch (12). In an electronic version (FIG. 3) the lamps are illuminated in sequence by the output of an electronic circuit (FIG. 3B). The speed of sequencing and the number of lamps illuminated can be controlled for differing reading speeds and printed line widths respectively (P1 and S1).
