The parchment and ink of the Torah scroll would begin to swell up from constant human contact because of the oils in human fingers. As a result, Jews use a "yad", which is a metal finger-extension, to follow their position in the Torah scroll as they read (instead of using their finger). They follow the reading to ensure accuracy.
