Many terminals, whether the bare console or in a window manager, will let you scroll vertically with Shift-PgUp and Shift-PgDn.

What I've always done is pipe it with the less command. For example ls | less. Once you do this you can go backwards a single line by pressing the Y key, or backwards N lines by pressing U. And of course you can advance forward a single line by pressing Enter, or Space to advance multiple lines.

For more info on less check out man less.
