How do screenreaders read headers in Rise?

    Phil, you are correct the 'paragraph with heading' block produces an H2, and the subheading block is an H3. The H1 exists in two places- on the cover page (course title) and then each lesson title is also h1.

By default the Statement blocks use regular paragraphs so if using a screen reader it has no prominence over regular paragraph text. But you can change these paragraphs to h2-h5 elements inside the Statement blocks. 

edit- adding screenshot of this, bottom left of the text dialog. This is a somewhat newish feature in Rise- change from paragraph to headings here KellyRipley​

This sounds amazing! I have looked within the Edit, Style and Format menus of the statement blocks and do not see the option you are describing.  Can you provide more guidance?

    The menu he's referring to appears after you highlight the text on the lesson page.
