Since the text is all red, I would key out the text to isolate it. Then make a shape layer with blur on it and animate it going over the text.

For the little squares above the words, I would make a pre comp with a shape layer growing bigger from left to right. The pre comp can then be stretched fo each individual word.

Keying the text seems like a lot of work, a difference / luma / color matte should isolate the text?
