  Take your text layer and twirl it open and use the Animate flyout to skew the layer.

  Create a line of text and open up it’s properties. There is a button(flyout) called “Animate”, select it. Now select “Skew”, when you do so, you will get a skew property you can animate.

  

  Here’s a link to some basic tutorials on how to use the text animators in after effects, the first one in the series is “Animating Source Text” :
