Screen reader is reading "blank"s
Can someone please take a look at this slide and let me know why the screen reader would read between each block of text as "blank?"

Hi Mary - This is expected behaviour from screen readers such as NVDA and indicates that the learner needs to move to another object.
I downloaded your file, took a look at the focus order and then tested with NVDA. When I've tabbed to the screen (or back to top), and use my down arrow key, the screen reader is reading each of your text boxes (when it finishes, hit down arrow again). If it's helpful, here are the NVDA keyboard shortcuts.
