A bilingual piece of software has been developed to cultivate student speed and critical reading abilities by expanding their visual span, improving their eye movement, reducing their visual regression, developing their stock of vocabulary, and by honing their skimming, scanning, and critical understanding skills. This paper overviews the software, explains its educational value for language teaching, and experimentally demonstrates its utility.
