A computer-based reading-fluency training tool for helping a reader increase her/his reading speed and comprehension. In some embodiments, the training tool includes a reading frame that displays multiple lines of multiline reading material. The displayed multiple lines are masked, and the training tool moves a guided window through the multiple lines in a controlled manner to temporarily unmask a portion of the multiple lines to guide the reader through the reading material.
